Habitat for Humanity Beach Day 5K

Welcome to the 2022 Habitat for Humanity Run/Walk. This virtual 5K will take place between Saturday, April 16th and Saturday, April 23rd and is organized by students at the University of Pennsylvania to raise funds for the Philadelphia Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Due to the COVID pandemic, we will not be convening for the race this year, but will instead race virtually using the Racejoy app. Racejoy provides an interactive virtual racing experience with distance tracking, race timing, and cheers. The mission of Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia is to transform lives by building quality homes in partnership with families in need and, locally, uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing.  UPenn’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter helps to fight homelessness in our community and beyond through volunteer builds, ReStore projects, and community outreach events throughout the year.
