Philadelphia, PA
The Philadelphia Distance Run has a charity entry path through Students Run Philly Style, a youth mentorship program rooted in the city. Runners who go this route are raising money that feeds directly back into that program, and the registration fee counts toward the fundraising total rather than sitting on top of it.
