WXPN 5k Run for Musicians On Call

Grab your running shoes and some friends and join us in person at Penn Park or from anywhere in the world for a 5k Run or a Funky Miler Walk. When you do, you’ll be making a real, lasting impact on the lives of local area hospital patients.

Since 2014, the annual WXPN 5k Run has been the primary event to raise much-needed funds for WXPN Musicians On Call which brings musicians to the bedsides of patients in the Delaware Valley. With COVID-19 restrictions preventing or limiting in-hospital patient visits, bringing live streams and recorded music to the bedsides of patients and their caregivers is more important than ever. 

Our sole fundraising event will be a hybrid this year. Simply choose whether you’ll run a 5k or walk a mile and where you’ll do it, either on our official course or chart your own. 

Registration includes:

• Admission to the Celebration and Dance Party 
• Run/Walk Playlist
• Pre-race yoga warmup
• All the feels you get from knowing that your support helps bring joy to hundreds of hospitalized patients.

BONUS!  Registrants will receive a commemorative race shirt! (Note: Must be registered by 9/1 to ensure size availability. Only virtual participants who signed up by 9/1 will have their shirts mailed before race day.)
