SUMMARY:Trolley Trail Run
DESCRIPTION:Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and YAP (Young and Active Philly) for a 4.5-mile trail run along West Fairmount Park’s historic Trolley Trail.\n\nDATE\nWednesday\, June 3 \n\n\n\nTIME\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nTrolley Trail Entrance \nChamounix Drive\n(Parking lot across from Ridgeland Mansion)\nPhiladelphia PA 19131 \n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy and YAP (Young and Active Philly) or a 4.5-mile trail run along West Fairmount Park’s historic Trolley Trail. Whether you’re training for an upcoming race\, looking to connect with other runners\, or just want to get to know the trail system better\, this run series provides the perfect opportunity. \nEach trail run will be led by a Fairmount Park Conservancy staff person\, in partnership with local run club leaders (see schedule below). At a few points along the run\, we’ll stop and talk about the past and present of the Trolley Trail\, which roughly follows the route of the old Fairmount Park Trolley that operated from 1896-1946. We’ll even run through some of the physical remains of what is now a hidden trolley network. \nEach run will have multiple pace groups; however\, in order to finish before sunset\, runners should be able to consistently run for 4.5 miles on trails. While this run series is in partnership with local run clubs\, you do not need to be part of the run club to attend. Each event will be a mix of runners from that club and runners from the general public. Join for one run or for all four! \nABOUT THE TROLLEY TRAIL: Fairmount Park Conservancy\, along with partners at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance\, have been working to develop the Trolley Trail – a scenic multi-purpose trail that loosely follows the path of the former Fairmount Park Trolley. New gateways\, trail signage\, and bike racks were recently added and a ribbon-cutting was held in November 2023. Read more here. \nABOUT YAP (YOUNG & ACTIVE) PHILLY: YAP is a Philly-founded\, Philly-led multi-sport community with a mission to help people find their community while staying active. They host themed runs twice a week to bring people together to explore the city. They also play various sports\, including organizing Philly’s most social tennis league! Their events are designed so anyone can show up solo and feel included from day one\, regardless of skill level or whether they’re new or already connected. With a thoughtfully crafted seasonal calendar\, YAP helps people experience Philadelphia in a way that’s active\, social\, and uniquely local. We share all events through our Instagram community of ~6\,000 followers and active group chats of ~500 members\, so it’s easy to jump in and be part of it. To find out more about their upcoming events\, visit their Instagram page. \nTICKETS: Free\, registration required** \n**We are proud to be able to offer these events for free; however\, there is limited capacity. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows can take away tickets from others.
