It is the time of year again when the South Philly Striders and Fishtown Beer Runners run the streets of South Philly to enjoy the holiday lights. The run starts Thursday December 15th at 7 pm from Toll Man Joe’s (26 East Oregon Avenue). The run also ends at Toll Man Joe’s. Drink and food specials will be posted soon.
As is tradition, we are having a food drive to benefit PhilAbundance. Please bring canned and other non-perishable food to Toll Man Joe’s. If you would like to donate online, click here.
Feel free to wear bells, lights, and holiday costumes. All paces are welcome.
There are two route options: 5 miles and 3.5 miles. Click here for the cue sheet.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Please obey traffic rules and ONLY cross streets, particularly Broad Street or Oregon Avenue, on green lights. We do not want any accidents or having drivers annoyed at us for crossing on red lights.
