WXPN 5K Run for Musicians On Call

It's not too late to join us in-person! Race Day onsite registration happens 7am - 8am. You can also register from 1pm - 7pm on Friday, October 14 at World Cafe Live during packet pickup.

Grab your running shoes and some friends and join us in person at Penn Park or from anywhere in the world for a 5k Run or a Funky Miler Walk. When you do, you’ll be making a real, lasting impact on the lives of local area hospital patients.

Since 2014, the annual WXPN 5k Run has been the primary event to raise much-needed funds for WXPN Musicians On Call which brings musicians to the bedsides of patients in the Delaware Valley. In 2020, Musicians On Call expanded its virtual programs to reach more patients and caregivers during the pandemic and was one of few charities able to continue providing programming directly to hospitals over the last 2+ years.  Although in-person visits are temporarily paused because of COVID-19, WXPN Musicians On Call is prepared to return to in-person programming when it is safe and we’re hopeful for a return later this year.

Bringing live streams and recorded music to the bedsides of patients and their caregivers is more important than ever. Join us for our sole fundraiser of the year to help us deliver the healing power of music.

This year's event offers the option to run a 5k or walk a mile on your choice of our in-person course or a course near you. In-person participants are eligible for event medals.
