'Tis the season for holiday fun at the Rudolph Run in Manayunk!
The 12th Annual Rudolph Run is on Saturday, December 12th! Join us for a 3 mile fun run along the Manayunk canal path starting at 9AM. Our friends from Ho-Ho-HOKA will have their latest and greatest footwear for you to test out on the run, plus special post-run treats back at the shop.
Holiday attire is encouraged—lights, reindeer antlers, red noses, sparkles, ugly Christmas sweaters, and whatever else you have lying around. We’ll be handing out red noses and jingle bells to everyone feeling festive!
To help spread holiday cheer to those in need, we’ll be collecting canned goods and other necessities for our friends at North Light Community Center as your donation/entry fee. Donations can be dropped off at Philadelphia Runner Manayunk all week leading up to the run or during runner check-in on Saturday morning starting at 8:30AM. Can’t make the run? You’re welcome to stop by and donate throughout the week!
Round up some friends and celebrate the season with a jolly good run followed by special shopping offers and more sweet treats in our Manayunk shop. Sign up and let us know you’re coming by clicking the link in the event info.
Please note: This is a fun run, not a race!
