From the Race Organizer
Please join me "Elyse" anywhere anytime on Wednesday April 8th to walk or run 3.5 miles to celebrate turning the big 35! All race entry fees and additional donations will be donated to CHOP - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I am a charity runner for the Broad Street 10 miler in May and cannot wait to see how we can help children and families in need. Get out there, get some fresh air, celebrate my birthday and you'll get a really cool keepsake too!
