Nearby 5Ks and Other Runs Coming In July
A quick list of local runs scheduled for next month. The Downtown West Chester Triple Threat is set for July 28.
Looking to declare independence from the couch and stretch your legs a bit in July? Below is a list of group runs in the area next month.
Most of the runs listed are only a few minutes by car. A few are a bit father away, though. The Swarthmore run was included because, really, how often do you hear about an 8K? Similarly, the 21K in Hibernia Park is quite a haul, but off-road half-marathons are rare around here.
