The 7th annual Fishtown RiverCity Festival will kick off with a 5k FUN RUN through the Fishtown neighborhood on a semi-closed course, beginning and ending at Penn Treaty Park. As always this fun run will raise funds to support The Fishtown Neighbors Association.
This year, the RiverCity Festival is proud to sponsor local non-profit the Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly). The goal of the Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia is to assist the community with animal related issues through prompt response time, education and enforcement of the Philadelphia code. ACCT is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to receive stray and unwanted animals, investigate animal ordinance complaints and respond to animal emergencies. The shelter is located at 111 W. Hunting Park Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19140
This year as an added bonus, we will again partner with the Fishtown Beer Runners. FBR is no stranger to running and enjoying a brew post-5k (or longer). Their goal is to combine responsible running and consumption in the interest of science. Fishtown Beer Runners will mark the course to encourage and provide direction for all runners. Look for FBR members to dole out high-fives as you run, too!
