Roads Temporarily Closed This Evening for Molly Maguire's One Miler Run

Manna on Main Street is about to benefit from a wee bit luck o’ the Irish.

Molly Maguire’s Pub, along with North Wales Running Company in North Wales Borough, will hold the first annual Get Lucky One Miler run this evening.

The event was partially organized by Lansdale resident and former councilman Ben Gross. It will be timed by Pretzel City Sports.

The run will call for certain roads in Lansdale Borough to be closed along the One Miler route for a half-hour, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
