Step into the legendary spirit of the "City of Brotherly Love," where history and hard work go hand-in-hand. From the iconic "Rocky Steps" to the bustling markets of Center City, Philadelphia is a town that respects the hustle and honors those willing to go the distance, making it the perfect home for the grit of the DEKA community.

The action centers at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a massive, state-of-the-art arena located right in the heart of downtown Philly. This three-day event invites you to conquer the standard DEKA FIT course via Age Group or Elite waves, or take on the specialized Ruck and Team (2-person and 4-person) categories. For those who refuse to quit, the DEKA FIT Ultra offers a chance to etch your name into the city’s storied athletic history.

The 6th Annual Grow & Walk-A-Thon 5K is back! As the culminating event of Grow & Walk Philly - a multi-week greening and walking program designed to improve individual and community health - this community wellness event invites neighbors and area residents to have fun will being fit.

The Walk-A-Thon will increase your appreciation for the West Oak Lane neighborhood and its green spaces, & connect you to other green thumbs, seedfolks, and health enthusiasts.

During the walk neighborhood highlights will include green assets throughout the neighborhood including a library, school, front yard gardens, rec center and a park.

The Grow And Walk- A-Thon begins at the West Oak Lane Library and will be a simple walk starting on one of the main thoroughfares in Northwest Philadelphia - Washington Lane. The walk/run will end at Awbury Park where there will be a group celebration and complimentary lunch.
