This year, the 9th annual Boxers’ Trail 5K is going virtual! Runners and walkers are encouraged to participate in the race anytime from September 19-26, 2020.
For the virtual race, we’re giving you 5 very compelling reasons to join us for what has become an amazing community tradition in East Fairmount Park.
- Help give back. Proceeds from the Boxers’ Trail 5K benefit East Fairmount Park and Mander Playground’s youth programs
- Do it for the T-shirt. You will get a souvenir t-shirt with your registration while supplies last.
-
Run like a champ! Run the trail that boxing legends including Champion Boxer Joe Frazier used to train. You can even get inspired by Smokin’ Joe and other local boxing legends at the new-and-improved Boxers’ Trail Gateway at Dauphin and Greenland Drives.
- Beat the crowds. Kelly Drive gets crowded. Discover this beautiful, shaded alternative.
- Take the challenge! The Boxers’ Trail is an all-terrain trail – whether you’re walking or running the 5k, it’s sure to get your heart pumping
Register for the virtual race here. This event is $20. Walkers and runners of all ages and abilities are welcome. Connect with us at PPRstewardship@phila.gov for discount info.
