West Philly Runners: WPR e-jawn: May 1

Some Words from the Management

It's Broad Street Run week! We're having an after-party and details are below.

But before that, we're doing something a little different this week. Nick, Haley, and Jon are hosting us at their place after the run. Feel free to bring some beers (Bottle Shop and Garden Court Eatery are both nearby) or just come and hang out.

Run ends at Nick, Haley, and Jon's place (4634 Spruce St)

Upcoming Run Sports

Broad Street Run Afterparty - Sunday May 5, 12-4pm

After the party, it's the afterparty at Alon and Arwin's place. Run Broad Street, go hang out down in FDR Park with Philadelphia Runner, head home, shower off, and then come show off your medal and tell a bunch of people who ACTUALLY want to hear about your run about how great/terrible/never again it was!

Where: 5019 Hazel Ave
When: 12 - 4pm

Citywide Recovery Run - Thursday May 9, 7pm

Do not miss out on the Citywide Recovery Run. Shake off your post Broad Street fatigue and celebrate your success with the entire Philly running community. Join us on Thursday, May 9th for a few miles followed by a party at the new Craft Hall.

We're starting at our usual spot - 45th and Locust - at 7pm and we'll finish with everyone at Mainstay Independent Brewing located at 901 N. Delaware Ave.

Best of all, $1 of every beer sold will be donated to Students Run Philly Style. So, you can do your civic duty just by having a couple beers!

Mayor's Cup Pep Rally - May 15 (after WPR run)

We'll be finishing up our weekly run at the Mayor's Cup Pep Rally a Dock Street Brewery!

The Pep Rally is an opportunity to meet competing clubs and maaaaybe do a little (good-natured) trash-talking while enjoying brews on a spring evening.

Registration will open on-site at the Pep Rally: the first 50 people to register will claim a FREE BEER, and everyone will get a $5 discount on their registrations.

7th Annual WPR 26x1 Mile Marathon Relay - Saturday May 18th

Marathons are hard. You know what's easier? Running a marathon on a team of 13 runners where you each run a single mile, take a nice relaxing beer break, and then go run one more for good measure.

This year will be the 7th Annual 26x1 Mile Marathon Relay and the 3rd on our home turf, at The Woodlands. We had two teams last year, including the winning team, not that anyone's keeping track of these things.

Sign up today and let's get another two teams together for the best race of the year!

Run Fest - Sunday June 2

Philly Run Fest is a celebration of all things running and Philadelphia. Presented by Philadelphia Runner, Philly Run Fest was founded by passion for our city and built to bring together the Philadelphia running community.

We're looking to get a nice little team of 30 people so we can get our very own port-a-pot! You can use the discount code WPR19 to get $5 off. Make sure to join the West Philly Runners team!

Registration fees go up at the end of the month so definitely sign up now if you're interested in doing any of the races: 5K, half-marathon relay, or the whole half-marathon!
