Event Description

Join us for the 4th annual PHL 5K Run/Walk! This event is hosted by Philadelphia International Airport and sponsored by American Airlines.  This is a charity event that will support Habitat for Humanity and Eastwick Friends & Neighbors Coalition. Participants will get to experience running on an "actual runway" used by commercial aircrafts.  Along the course you will get to see commercial and general aviation aircrafts taking off and landing (on different runways!) and you will see a display of Airport equipment such as Fire Apparatus, various types of snow removal equipment and airline ground support equipment. This is truly a once in a life time opportunity!

In addition to supporting worthy causes, participants will receive a moisture wicking PHL5K Run shirt, along with post nutrition food and beverages.

Award medals will be given to the top three male and top three female RUN finisher and NEW for 2019, AGE GROUP AWARDS! We will have the following age group awards for the top three male and female RUN finishers in the following category:
