Event Information
Race Date
You decide. Register online and start anytime. Mileage can be done all at once, or over the course of several days, as long as it is completed by 5PM on August 31, 2020.
Location/Course
Run or walk wherever you want – inside, outside, in your neighborhood, on the treadmill, in a park. Choose one destination or choose several. The mileage you cover will be determined by the destination(s) you choose from our list of Delaware Valley family attractions. Longer mileages can be done in as many days as needed. The goal is just to get it done, in your own space at your own pace…and have fun!

Benefits
Nemours Community Response Fund
As a children’s health system, everything we do is driven by empathy and integrity, not cost. Right now, we face new challenges to keep our associates and families safe and healthy, like investing in COVID-19 safety precautions and preparing our hospitals to care for more patients. Ensuring this quality of care and safety comes at a significant price. We have set up the Community Response Fund to help address these needs. Your support is vital to making that happen.
