Everyone Is Welcome
You are the key to making the Red Cross Walk & Run a success. Individuals can walk or run, and raise pledges. You can even bring your best pal along. Dogs can participate and raise pledges to pay for the critical services we provide in your community. Businesses, organizations and groups can form their own teams of walkers and runners to show their support. Team captains receive a comprehensive kit filled with ideas on how to get your team moving.
Saving Lives Is Fun
The Red Cross Walk and Run to Save Lives is a 5K walk/run around Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. Along the route you will find water stations, motivational teams cheering you on, and stops for those who need a rest. The event takes place rain or shine, so be sure to dress appropriately. Nothing can describe the camaraderie of joining those who share a commitment to our region. It’s all good fun for a worthy cause. read more
