The holidays are over, and it’s time to head back to work and play. Take that New Year’s resolution to do more things for yourself seriously and head out to one of these events this weekend.
Resolution Run 5K
Speaking of resolutions, plenty of folks will be aiming to get in shape in 2025. Start your fitness journey with this Saturday’s Resolution Run (or walk, if you’re really just starting out).
The race — by Gingerbread Man Running Co. — will occur around the Keystone State Park Lake in Derry. Awards will be given out in different age groups, so bring your A-game. This is also a good chance to just take a walk and get into the rhythm of exercise with others.
Registration is $12 ahead of time, $17 day of the event. The run will start at 1 p.m. Saturday. Keep an eye on the skies; this run won’t happen in severe weather! Learn more at Gingerbread Man Running Co.’s Facebook page, facebook.com/runrun runasfastasyoucan.
Live music
Grab a few friends and head to Stone Bridge Brewing Co., 249 E. Pittsburgh St., Greensburg. This Saturday night, they’ll have local singer-songwriter Luke Weltz playing some tunes to make your weekend evening even more fun.
Weltz is a Latrobe native and friend of Stone Bridge Brewing who plays in several local bands and has a long musical history in the region. He’ll be playing from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, and the brewpub will be open another hour until 10 p.m.

’90s cover band
The new year a good time to reminisce, and when it comes to music, the 1990s are always a good era on which to look back. My Own Worst 90s Band will provide the nostalgic tunes this Saturday night at The King Seat Tavern in Irwin.
Playing a variety of songs from the decade, My Own Worst 90s Band is a group of musicians passionate about their favorite music. If you feel like getting into it, throw on a flannel and head down to the tavern, 4022 Route 130, Irwin. The band will rock the place from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday. There will be a $5 cover. The show is for those 21 and over.
