West Philly Runners: WPR weekly deets: March 29

Some Words from the Management

Now that we're firmly into Philly springtime, we're going to do our annual cherry blossom run! The 6 milers will get to enjoy the pretty cherry blossom allee leading to the Mann Center and all of us will get to enjoy a post-run beverage.

Run starts at Clark Park (44th and Baltimore) and ends at Local 44 Bottle Shop (44th and Spruce).

Upcoming Run Events

The West Philly Runners 26 x 1 Mile Marathon Relay - May 13 8am

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 8th Annual 26 x 1 Mile Marathon Relay and it's back on our home turf, at The Woodlands. We have 18 teams registered and expect more than 200 runners to join us for a fun morning.

Sign up today to join one of our two teams!
