The Bridesburg Memorial Day Parade is one of the oldest and longest Memorial Day Parades in Pennsylvania. After World War II, Bridesburg resident, Edward Dubeck's mission in life was to make sure people remember all service members who didn't make it home from war.

The mission of the Bridesburg Memorial Day 5K is to help raise funds to be sure that this special parade will continue to honor all who have served, past and present. Donations will be greatly appreciated.
In order to continue to honor all of those who have served, past and present, in defense of our American Values, The United Veterans of Bridesburg are holding this 5K Memorial Run and 1 Mile Honor Walk to raise funds to help make Mr. DuBeck's annual parade a success.

ABOUT US:
Samuel Powel is one of West Philadelphia's premier public elementary schools located in Powelton Village, in the heart of University City. Our mission is to educate the WHOLE CHILD. We lay a foundation that prepares students for success; We take responsibility for the education of every child and maintain high expectations for ALL as we prepare them for scholarship, leadership and citizenship. Powel Elementary School is a place where ALL students feel safe, valued, accepted, respected, and supported to grow & reach their full potential.
Powel's Home & School Association is a Parent/Family organization that supports the education and engagement of Powel students by fostering relationships among the school, parents and teachers. Our objectives are:
To provide a vehicle for communication and community building between parents and the administration and faculty.
To enhance the educational experience by supporting academic and enrichment activities
To improve the environment at our school by providing volunteer and financial support.
WHY WE'RE RUNNING:
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, parents, students, teachers, staff and administrators have had very limited opportunities to engage with each other. Many of our historically successful fundraising activities have had to be modified or cut altogether for the sake of the health and safety of our school community. So we have decided to start a new Powel School tradition: The Powel 5K & Family Fun Day! Our GOAL is to fundraise in a healthy, safe and equitable way while showing our Powel Pride!
All proceeds from the Powel 5K & Family Fun Day will go towards the HSA’s ongoing support of the Powel Community.

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.

Whether you join us in person at Lloyd Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or participate virtually from anywhere in the world, your contribution will make a difference.
On Saturday, May 31^st, between 8:30 am and 12:00 pm, we will collectively run or walk a 5K wherever we are, uniting to combat period poverty.
Proceeds from your registration will directly support our efforts to increase menstrual equity and #endperiodpoverty.
As a token of our appreciation, the top three winners will receive special GrassROOTS tees, and the first-place in-person winner will also receive two tickets to the Roots Picnic.
Early registration is $20.00 until March 31st, with prices increasing thereafter. The first 50 registrants, whether for the live or virtual race, will receive a commemorative t-shirt.

We will be starting at 8:30AM and the give away will change from a soup mug to a pint glass.

In 2012, Original Propaganda Athletic Club opened its doors in Philadelphia with a simple conviction: every runner belongs. Founded to unite athletes across the entire spectrum, from beginners finding their footing to experienced marathoners chasing splits, OPAC built a culture where effort is respected regardless of pace or distance. Saturday mornings anchor the crew's rhythm, rotating through Philadelphia's parks and trails with pace groups that genuinely accommodate walkers through long-distance runners. The weekly tradition has become a proving ground for personal growth, skill development, and authentic connection. What drives OPAC's identity is the belief that running improvement and community support aren't competing values, they're inseparable. Over more than a decade, the crew has shaped how Philadelphia's athletic landscape values diversity and dedication, proving that a running community's strength lies in how it lifts up every single member.
