About the Event

Join us for the 16th Annual Run to Rebuild, an inspiring in-person event featuring a timed 5k Run and a scenic 2-mile Walk along the picturesque Forbidden Drive in Fairmount Park. This family-friendly event is more than just a race—it's an opportunity to support our mission of housing justice. By participating, you'll help raise essential funds for transforming owner-occupied homes into safe, healthy, and energy-efficient spaces for homeowners in Philadelphia’s historic rowhouses.

 

Since 1988, we’ve repaired over 2,468 homes, creating lasting change for families across the city. Your involvement makes a difference and ensures we can continue our critical work to build a safer and healthier community.

 

Come run, walk, or cheer—and help us keep rebuilding!

About Philadelphia

Scenic view of

Philadelphia, routinely referred to as Philly, is the birthplace of American democracy. In Independence Hall and in taverns and other locations around the city, the nation's founders planned and launched the American Revolution, which gave birth to the nation. Visitors interested in U.S. history will also discover that it is a city of firsts: the first library (1731), first hospital (1751), first medical school (1765), first national capital (1774), first stock exchange (1790), first zoo (1874), and first business school (1881).
