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.

In the late 1970s, the United Veterans of Bridesburg was founded by Bridesburg residents, Edward DuBeck, John 'Moose' Muszynski, and the Commanders of both VFW Post 2 and American Legion Post 821 to continue to remember those who served in defense of our American values.

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. The run will start and finish near the front of the Bridesburg Recreation Center. The run begins at 8:30 AM

This event is a tribute to his legacy, and an opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate his life and support the future of Girard athletics.

Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, all are welcome to participate in this special Founder’s Day Weekend event. Proceeds will benefit Girard College athletics, helping future generations of students thrive, on and off the field.

The Wissahickon Trail Classic was established in 2006 to highlight Wissahickon Valley Park as one of the best trail running destinations on the East Coast. Back for its 17th year, the Wissahickon Trail Classic will engage hundreds of trail runners from the region, providing a unique race experience in Philadelphia’s premier park. Benefiting Friends of the Wissahickon, funds raised through the Trail Classic will go directly back into the stewardship of the Wissahickon trail system and watershed.

Date: Saturday, June 6th

Time: 8:30am

Start/finish location: W. Northwestern Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19118

Length: 10K trail race or 1 mile family-friendly nature walk. Here’s a map of the last Trail Classic in 2024. The 2026 race course will generally be the same.

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

TIME: Rally starts at 8am, with the walk beginning at 9:30am

WHY WE STRUT

Did you know that African American women have a 41% higher death rate from breast cancer than white women and are more likely to be diagnosed before age 40? Among Hispanic women, breast cancer will be the leading cause of cancer death (16%), followed by cancers of the lung (13%) and colorectum (9%). That needs to change! Get involved with the Sista Strut and make a difference!

The goal of Sista Strut is to heighten awareness about the issues of breast cancer in women of color, as well as provide information on community resources. Sista Strut recognizes the strength of survivors, their family and friends, heightens awareness, promotes early detection and the search for a cure.

A portion of the proceeds to benefit the American Association for Cancer Research®!
