SPS/FBR Holiday Lights Run, December 12

It is that time of year again when the South Philly Striders and Fishtown Beer Runners run the streets of South Philly to enjoy the holiday lights.  Last year, about 200 folks met and participated in the run.

The run starts Thursday, December 12th at Broad and Oregon at 7 PM, where there will be a food drive led by Len DeProspo and the O’Neill family.  Please donate canned and other non-perishable food to benefit Philabundance, which provides food to approximately 65,000 people per week in the Delaware Valley.

The run ends at American Sardine Bar (18th and Federal).  Here is the tentative route.  Everyone is encouraged to come out for this event.  Feel free to wear bells, lights, and holiday costumes.

Thanksgiving Morning Run to Parade Setup

On Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 28,  the SPS scheduled run will take place at the usual time, leaving Front/South at 6:15 am.  There will be a change in the route and add some traditional Thanksgiving fun.  We will leave Front/South at 6:15 am running to 2nd/Market by 6:20 am. From there, we will run as close as we can get by the Thanksgiving day parade setup.  Bring a few dollars/credit card for a coffee stop after.  Happy Thanksgiving!
