This event is a non-competitive fund-raiser designed to increase awareness to the plight of homeless and at-risk kids in Philadelphia. The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Lloyd Hall (Kelly Drive). The suggested donation starts at $10 for pre-registration and $15 the day of the event. T-shirts, fruit, water, and pretzels will be provided. Donation boxes will also be on-site to collect hygiene products and clothing kids that we help.
