The Story of Philly Runners

Founded March 27, 2002

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

By Kevin E. Gruenfeld & Dara Bellace

(Click here to see the brief history at the bottom of this page.)

In early 2002, friends Kevin G and Dara B discussed starting a running club together. There were plenty of running groups in the Philadelphia area, but no group open to all focused in the Center City area. On March 27, Kevin starting designing a web page, a membership database, and a flyer for what they tentatively called Run Philly - Center City Philadelphia Running Club.

Since then Philly Runners has matured to an organization that brings competitive and casual runners together for races, runs and other events. With our many members and the committment of our new leadership the future for Philly Rinners looks brighter than ever.
