To Do: Gener8tionrun 8K

Run to raise funds for Students Run Philly Style

Students Run Philly Style is a unique program in Philadelphia that connects youth with adult mentors who help them train for a marathon while teaching the value of setting and achieving goals. Gener8tionrun is the primary fundraiser for the program. It consists of an 8K run that you can register for as an individual, a pair, or a team of eight. Not feeling a distance run? Immediately following the 8K, there is a .8K (about half a mile) walk that you can register for separately. More info is here.

8K run: $35 for an individual, $60 for a pair,  $240 for an 8 team; .8K walk: $15 per person.  Saturday, April 14th at 8 a.m., Philadelphia Navy Yard, 4747 South Broad Street.
