Today is Global Running Day. Most years we come together today and celebrate our community and our members’ successes. But this year is different from other years.

Today, our members face an even greater burden from the social, economic and health crises of our time. COVID-19, economic upheaval and long-time, systemic racism create uphill battles for our members and alumni that can feel impossibly steep.
*
But we have hope. We believe in the dignity, value and equality of every person.
*
We believe in our members and alums, and we know you do too.
*
So today, run. Or walk. Or just move with a sense of purpose, knowing that as a community, we can shape a better tomorrow.

‼️5-Miler Update‼️ Back on My Feet’s top priority is the health and well-being of our members, volunteers, staff, communities and event attendees. As you likely heard, the city of Philadelphia and state of Pennsylvania have officially discouraged any events with participation over 250 attendees.

Therefore, we have decided to change the event into a virtual race (Stroehmann Bakeries Back on My Feet Virtual 5-Miler) so that folks can participate in a social distancing manner, while still coming together as a community to support our mission.

Although the race has moved to a virtual event, we will still be providing an opportunity for you to pick up your t-shirt (if you ordered one) and race goodies. Stay tuned for more information on this and additional virtual race details next week.

In the meantime, please join Back on My Feet’s Strava community in preparation for the virtual race!
