Join us for the 16th Annual Run to Rebuild , an inspiring in-person event featuring a timed 5k Run and a scenic 2-mile Walk along the picturesque Forbidden Drive in Fairmount Park. This family-friendly event is more than just a race—it's an opportunity to support our mission of housing justice. By participating, you'll help raise essential funds for transforming owner-occupied homes into safe, healthy, and energy-efficient spaces for homeowners in Philadelphia’s historic rowhouses. Since 1988, we’ve repaired over 2,468 homes, creating lasting change for families across the city. Your involvement makes a difference and ensures we can continue our critical work to build a safer and healthier community. Come run, walk, or cheer—and help us keep rebuilding!
