Legacy of Hope

July Challenge Medal


In July 2016 a group of runners from Philadelphia set out to run enough miles, and raise enough money to prevent a mother with stage four cancer from losing her home. 3500 miles later this remarkable group of runners exceeded all expectations, and raised enough money to prevent two local cancer patients from losing their homes. More than their 3500 miles run in a single month, the group's resolve and solidarity shown throughout the July Challenge was a shining example of the Philadelphia running community's potential to help local cancer patients in their 11th hour.

Please join us at 7:45pm, January 11th on the first floor of Jefferson's Hamilton building as we recognize these inspiring runners, and several others who have shown an unwavering dedication to 11th Hour Racing and Philadelphia cancer patients. Friends and family are invited to this informal event where food and drinks will be provided.

Runners of all abilities, and from any group are encouraged to join 11th Hour Racing as we take a road trip to the Unite Half Marathon. The bus is free for all runners who taking five minutes to set up a fundraising page to help support Philadelphia cancer patients (no minimums). More info can be found by visiting the event page.
"We race to ease the burden of those fighting cancer; we race for those who cannot...we are 11th Hour Racing."
