Why a race series?
The Healthy UCity Race Series encourages health and wellness by providing events throughout the year for all ages and fitness levels. As a bonus, these University City events feature scenic routes and fantastic venues.
With events ranging from 10Ks to children’s fun runs, there are plenty of opportunities for people of all ages to participate.
Most races benefit charities, including the Sickle Cell Partners of the Carolinas (Turkey Trot), the Dirt Divas Project Angel and Police Explorers Toy Drive (Run Run Rudolph) and University City food pantries (New Year’s Day 5K).
How to earn a Healthy UCity Race Series T-Shirt
To give you extra motivation to take part in several of the events, we are providing Healthy UCity Race Series T-shirts to anyone who takes part in three or more events during the fall/winter or spring/summer race series.
