|
Staff Sgt. Gabe Sweger, a drill sergeant with the PA Army National Guard, will run the 232 miles of the Appalachian Trail located within Pennsylvania beginning September 2.
Sweger’s run is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Friday at the Delaware Water Gap on the Pennsylvania/New Jersey state line. He is slated to finish at approximately 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17 at the Pennsylvania/Maryland state line.
Although Sweger will run in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, his goal is to raise awareness of the PA National Guard and the benefits of being a member as well as to raise money for various military-related charities.
Sweger, 31, is from Camp Hill, Cumberland County.
