If you made a donation to a Park Champion runner or are currently a member of FPC, you may also register for free. Non-members pay $15 per run. To learn more about membership click here.

Lace up your sneakers and venture off the beaten path! We will share wonderful hidden gems in Philly's parks through this series. These runs are FREE for folks who are running Broad Street in support of Fairmount Park Conservancy in 2020, and you must register for each run! Please make sure to check the starting/ending point before registering for dates as these are almost all different.
