The 2016 5,000 Yards Dash was the first ever of its kind, and we hope to see it come back. The run was hosted by the Great American Brewery Run series, a group who is known for hosting beer focused runs and Yards Brewing was the primary sponsor of this run (hence the name). The…
The 2016 Broad Street Run was a unique experience to say the least. It rained, then rained some more and finally rained even more. The rain began heavily at the start line and continued through the majority of the race. For me around mile 8 – 9 it slowed down, but sure enough picked back up…
The 2016 Love Run Half Marathon has come and gone, and what an exciting blur it was! If you’re not familiar with the Love Run (and at this point I have to imagine you are) it is the premier spring Half Marathon for Philadelphia. And premier is the perfect way to describe this race. The…
There are a handful of races that I always run every year. And the Back on My Feet 5 Miler is one of them. You may have heard of Back on My Feet before. They are an organization that helps rehabilitate the homeless through running. What they are doing is awesome, so if me running…
The Philly 10K is a race that was started in 2014 and I am happy to say I am a two time runner of it. This is truly the only race in Philly that embraces the soul of historic South Philly. If you’ve seen any “Rocky” movie you know what I am talking about. Most races…
This past weekend was the 1/2 Sauer 1/2 Kraut Half Marathon. If I had to put a title on this half marathon it would be called Hills, Heat and Hell. That’s exactly what this half marathon was. It was full of hills, 75 degrees around the 7:30 AM start time and pure hell. However still…
This year was my 2nd time running the Hot Chocolate 15K in Philadelphia. To be completely honest my motivation for running the race this year was purely superficial. Last year they didn’t offer a medal for the race, which I found odd considering it was a longer race that attracted a lot of runners. Usually…
This past Sunday was the Valley Forge Park Revolutionary 5 Mile Run. The run is in benefit of the Valley Forge Park which is a nationally known park for the role it played in George Washington and his Army. Read more about the park and its running trails here. My review of the race: Pre-Race:…
This past weekend was the ODDyssey Half Marathon in Philadelphia. The run was the traditional Half Marathon course in Philadelphia. Which is running around the Schuylkill river (a pretty site for running). Although this one was a little different in the sense that you ran a portion through Fairmount Park. One of the largest parks…
