The Gritty 5K brings together the best of Philadelphia...sports, games and running (or walking)! This three miles course is not for anyone attempting to PR! There are fun obstacles which include a graffiti station, ultimate frisbee, and HOT DOGS to enjoy as you cross the finish! Gritty showed up during the course to throw a cake in someone's face and break a pinata!

It's a fun run to raise money and awareness of the Flyers Charities. Good vibe, good crowd. There isn't really an expo; just go to the stadium to pick up your race gear. On race day there are family friendly activities and the chance to take photos with Gritty.
