West Philly Runners: WPR weekly deets: August 2

Some Words from the Management

Maybe I'm overly obsessed with the weather but I don't remember an August WPR run in the 80s with humidity as low as we'll see tonight. Is this that dry heat Texans are always raving about? Should make for some lovely running!

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

Upcoming Run Events

Mayor's Cup - August 12

This is the second-best team race in Philadelphia (after the 26x1 of course). You can register to run the 5K, 10K, or half-marathon trail race or the 5M or 10M road race. All races are timed to end at about the same time so teams then have time to hang out and party on Belmont Plateau. It's a super fun event and you should definitely sign up!
