Proceeds from the race benefit patient assistance funds at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, providing vital financial support to those in need.

Hosted by the New Hope Run Club, this event fosters a strong sense of community and compassion, welcoming both in-person and virtual participants to contribute to this noble cause. Join fellow runners and walkers at the start/finish area, typically located around 400 Union Square Drive, to challenge yourself, connect with others, and make a significant difference in the lives of many.
