Welcome to the 2020 Habitat for Humanity Decades Day 5K Run/Walk. This 5K is organized by students at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University to raise funds for the Philadelphia Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. The mission of Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia is to transform lives by building quality homes in partnership with families in need and, locally, uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing. UPenn’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter helps to fight homelessness in our community and beyond through monthly volunteer builds, ReStore projects, and community outreach events throughout the year. This year's theme is Decades Day to shine a light on the efforts in affordable housing over the years in Philadelphia and the nation. Please wear your favorite outfits from the 1950s-1990s on race day to show support! The best costume from each decade will win a gift card to a select location! Parking: Street-side parking available or Penn Park: 3100 Lower Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA, 19104. Costume Contest: The best costume from each of the decades from the 1950s-1990s will win a gift card to a select location! If you would like to have your costume be judged, please check in with a volunteer at the registration desk.

Raffle: We will also be holding a raffle for a pair of Beats headphones. By registering for the race, you will earn 5 raffle tickets. And by donating $5 on the Donate page (with or without registering), you will earn 1 raffle ticket -- and another raffle ticket for each additional $5 given! Amenities: Each participant will receive a neon-colored race t-shirt (see below!) and Habitat for Humanity wristband. Refreshments, water, and prizes will be provided!

Awards: Prizes will be awarded for 1st and 2nd place finishers as well as for the best decades costumes! Prizes will be distributed at 9:00 AM at the start/finish line of the race (next to Franklin Field, the UPenn football stadium).

Cost: $25 until 4/10, $30 race day; $5 discount for students!
