Grow & Walk-A-Thon - Philadelphia
The 6th Annual Grow & Walk-A-Thon is a community 5K walking event in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia, held as the culminating event of Grow & Walk Philly, a multi-week greening and walking program. The walk begins at the West Oak Lane Library at 2000 E. Washington Ln. and follows Washington Lane to Awbury Park, where the route concludes with a group celebration and a complimentary catered lunch.
The route highlights neighborhood green assets such as a library, a school, front yard gardens, a recreation center, and a park. The event is described as a low profile walk and is walking only; it is presented for leisure walkers, beginners, and families. Participants have access to water stations and community garden tours during the event.
Registration and fees vary by residence. The event is free for West Oak Lane residents and for residents of zip codes 19138 or 19126. Participants living outside those areas are asked to pay a sliding scale fee of $20 to $40; guidance is provided suggesting lower payments for people supporting dependents or receiving public assistance and higher payments for those with greater means.
