Another hot one for this week but that won't slow us down! We're heading back to Fiume for the first time in a long time so I hope you join the fun.

WPR 26x1 Marathon Relay - May 11

The best race of the year is coming up! Marathons are hard but they're easier when taken one mile at a time with you and 12 friends splitting the distance! It's a great time with 100% of funds going straight to the Woodlands to keep that place awesome and accessible for runners!

Philly 10K - August 25

The 11th annual Philly 10K marks the most significant updates to the race since we launched in 2014. In addition to the only opportunity of the year to run through the heart of South Philly on fully closed streets, this year we are adding The Philly Mile and a Kids Dash (what can we say? The founders both had babies and have grown soft) as part of the Diadora Kickoff Party festivities at FDR Park.

Philadelphia Distance Run - September 15

The PDR was founded in 1978 and remains one of the world’s premier Half Marathons. Set on the third Sunday in September, the PDR has long been one of the great fall tune up races going into marathon season and a perfect destination race for a weekend spent in the city of Brotherly Love.
