Run4UrLife, New 3K Fun Run through Historical Cemetery, Offers Hauntingly Unique Experience for Philadelphia Runners
Event will benefit MANNA, local nonprofit that delivers nourishing, healthy, healing food to those facing life-threatening illnesses

You never know what lurks around the corner as you set out to complete this one-of-a-kind 3K Fun Run. Held in the historic West Laurel Hill Cemetery just as the sun goes down, this unique event features ghouls and terrifying creatures jumping out from behind tombstones and giving chase as runners make their way through the course. Run4UrLife is expected to draw hundreds of participants, and all are encouraged to attend in costume.
In addition to offering the spookiest running experience Philadelphia has ever seen, Run4UrLife promotes the use of the city’s public spaces for recreation. The event also brings together for-profit and non-profit partners to bring awareness to two premier Greater Philadelphia institutions known for providing quality end-of-life services—West Laurel Hill Cemetery and MANNA.
Run4UrLife will take place at the West Laurel Hill Cemetery, 215 Belmont Ave, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, on Thursday, October 30, at 6:30 p.m.
