More than 900 runners, walkers, volunteers and community members gathered to help support Reading Hospital.

The West Reading medical facility held its 2026 Reading Hospital Road Run on Sunday, raising $40,000 for the hospital’s emergency department and intensive care unit.

The run was held in the wake of Reading Hospital’s announcement of a major expansion of its emergency department.

“Just days after breaking ground on the new John and MaryAnne Post Center for Emergency Care, we’re reminded that events like these are only possible because of the incredible generosity of our community,” said Katherine E. Thornton, president of the Reading Hospital Foundation. “We are deeply grateful to every participant, volunteer, sponsor and donor who made this year’s event a success.”
