Sat 05/11/2024 Dirty German Endurance Fest - 50-Miler, 50K & 25K Philadelphia, PA (Pennypack Park, Ed Kelly Amphitheater) 7:30 a.m. (50-Miler); 8:00 a.m. (50K); 8:30 a.m. (25K) Events: 50-Miler; 50K & 25K. This race takes place within the city limits of Philadelphia, and therefore qualifies as an urban ultramarathon, but you will not find things like traffic, noise, bad air quality & concrete buildings here. This race course is located within Pennypack Park, a hidden gem within Philadelphia's Fairmont park system. The park stretches along Pennypack creek and is home to many trails, huge old trees, birds & other wildlife. This race offers a perfect opportunity for runners to enter the exciting world of trail (ultra)running. This is a good course to run your first ultra or a PR if the weather cooperates. We accomplish this by providing a course that is well marked & not too technical.The course features different surfaces. Some soft and occationally sandy spots along the creek, a lot of smooth single track as well as some wider flat gravel trail. Every loop includes about 1 mile of paved bike trail. There is some elevation, but the climbs are short. This course is very runnable and easy by trail running standards, which as experienced runners will know, can make it even more challenging, because it will not give you many opportunities where you can/should hike. Course: Along Pennypack Creek within the limits of Pennypack park. Course is basically a figure 8 consisting of mostly single track trail and a short paved bike path section. One loop is 25K. 50 K runners will run it twice, 50 mile runners will run the main loop 3 times and an extra 1 mile dog leg section during each loop (well marked). This is a wonderful park setting, with gorgeous views of the creek, wildlife and nature within the city limits of Philadelphia. Time Limit: 12 hours & 30 min (for the 50M). This is a firm time limit. The park closes at 9 Pm, and we need to be all cleared out by then. You have to make it to the 35 Mile mark by 8 hours, otherwise you can not continue.

I LOVE Mom 5K is a great way to show our love of moms and celebrate her with a pint post race. So let's lace up our shoes on Mother's Day and celebrate the moms in our lives. Charity Partner - Josie's Grace Josie's Grace is 4 week program, allowing new Mama's/Birthing Parents to navigate stress and fatigue while off-setting isolation in the fourth trimester. Isolation and lack of self-care put mothers and birthing people at risk for developing a mood or anxiety disorder. Early interventions can interrupt the cycle allowing for a smoother transition into motherhood. Caring for the mother during this vulnerable time will support optimal attachment within the new dyad, thus also generating positive impacts on the infants' health. This psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) developed curriculum focuses on prevention and early support with social and therapeutic interventions centered around holistic and behavioral health nursing. Our goal is for mamas to leave feeling physically and emotionally nourished, so they experience optimized maternal mental health and function. See website for event details.
