What better way to celebrate the spirit of independence (and delicious donuts) than an early morning July 4th, Independence Day run ending up Federal Donuts (1219 S. 2nd St.). The group run will leave at the usual place (Front and South) at 7AM and will finish at Federal Donuts Late risers are welcome to just meet up at the finish. Bring cash.
Next Sunday, May 5, 8:30, is the 34th annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run, the nation’s largest ten mile race. Weather forecast looks positive (not too warm, not raining). Even though riding the subway is free for those wearing race bibs, be sure to leave plenty of time, particularly if you’re coming from Center City or north. Around 7 to 7:30, just about every subway will be full before it gets to those areas.
After the race, everyone is invited to the annual post-race party at noted South Philadelphia resident Anthony Locicero’s house (3139 S. 20th St., about 1.5 miles away from the finish). Plenty of food and beverages will be served.
