Join us, virtually, for the 9th annual Boxers’ Trail 5k this fall!
Each September, hundreds of people take part in the Boxers’ Trail 5k Walk/Run. The walkers and runners enjoy a wonderful, wooded trail with river views. Their participation supports youth programs at Mander Playground. This year, for the health and safety of all, the event is going virtual!
The Boxers Trail is like no other. It was a favorite workout spot of Joe Frazier and many other boxing greats. Along its route you will:
- Travel through the forests and meadows of East Fairmount Park.
- Catch glimpses of the Schuylkill River from high above Kelly Drive.
- Wind up wooded hills, and along shady creeks.
- Pass by historic mansions, a vibrant play area, and the nation’s oldest disc golf course.
