Charity runners may either select from one of the events we are a local charity partner of (Broad Street, Philadelphia Marathon, The Philly 10K), or may participate in any running, walking, cycling, or multi-sport event of their choice. Selecting from one of our charity partner events will provide you with a race entry and you will be required to meet the fundraising minimum. If you choose to select your own event, you are responsible for purchasing your race entry and can set your own fundraising goal. Our students are the single largest group in all major Philly races so they’ll be out on the course with you crossing the same finish line!
