Welcome to the third annual SLA AnyWay 5k! Started as a virtual race in 2021 by SLA alumni Ethan Chen, the AnyWay 5k was a way to help spread his passion for running with the SLA community. We are continuing his legacy by holding an in person 5k in addition to the virtual event!
No matter if you are part of or outside of the SLA community, everyone is welcome to join in on our race. All registrations, donations, and profits made from this race will directly be given to SLA Home and School to support the SLA community and this race. We would like to thank Braskem for sponsoring this event and making this all possible!
You can use any kind of tracking device for the virtual race. Apps like Strava and Runkeeper work well.
The deadline for ordering shirts is April 1st. The pickup date for shirts is Tuesday April 19th and Friday April 22nd, 3:15 - 4:30 pm, at 1482 Green St. (SLA@CC).
How this event works
This year's race will consist of an in person event and a virtual event.
The SLA Anyway 5k virtual race can take place anywhere and any time from April 17th-April 23rd. It is up to you as the participants to choose a time, a route, and methods to accumulate a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). You can do it all in one go or break it up over the week.
The in-person event will take place on April 23rd along the Schuylkill river trail. Arrive at 10:00 AM for check in, with the goal to start the race between 10:30 and 10:45 AM.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for May in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, routinely referred to as Philly, is the birthplace of American democracy. In Independence Hall and in taverns and other locations around the city, the nation's founders planned and launched the American Revolution, which gave birth to the nation. Visitors interested in U.S. history will also discover that it is a city of firsts: the first library (1731), first hospital (1751), first medical school (1765), first national capital (1774), first stock exchange (1790), first zoo (1874), and first business school (1881).
