5k Run Walk

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.

This low profile walk is ideal for beginners, leisure walkers, and families. You won't want to miss it, there will even be a personal trainer on-site to help coach everyone through!

Grow & Walk - A-Thon is FREE to West Oak Lane residents and sliding scale for all others participants.

We ask that people living outside of West Oak Lane pay a sliding scale of $20-$40 to participate.

  • Consider paying less on the scale if you are supporting children/dependents; are an unpaid community organizer; receive public assistance.

  • Consider paying more on the scale if you own the home you live in; have investments; travel recreationally.

    Access to clean water is something many of us take for granted, yet millions of people around the world still walk miles every day to collect water that is often unsafe to drink. The Water for All 5K is a community run created to help change that.

    This race is a fundraiser supporting the Mambarare Water Supply Project led by the Engineers Without Borders – Philadelphia Professional Chapter, whose members volunteer their engineering skills to partner with communities around the world to design and implement sustainable infrastructure projects. Through long-term collaboration, our teams work to improve access to essential resources like clean water, sanitation, and reliable infrastructure.

    Proceeds from this event will support our chapter’s water supply project in Mambarare, Tanzania, where we are partnering with a community to help develop sustainable solutions for safe and reliable drinking water. Funds raised through the race will help support project design, materials, construction, and the travel required for engineers and volunteers to work alongside local partners.

    But this race is about more than fundraising - it’s about community, impact, and the ripple effect of collective action. Every mile run represents the steps many people take each day just to access water, and every participant helps move us closer to a future where safe water is accessible to all.

    Join us for a morning of running, community, and purpose as we take steps together toward a world with clean water for every community.

    Help us to build a better world, one community at a time.

    Race Amenities:

    • Scenic Course

    • Finisher Medal

    • T-shirts

    • Bottled water
