Race Against Hunger
The 5K Strengthening Food Access Across Philadelphia
Saturday, September 28th
8:45am-11:00am
Navy Yard Marine Parade Grounds
Since 1996 the annual Race Against Hunger has elevated the issue of food insecurity in our local communities and raises funds to support our work and infuse the Philadelphia food access network with resources for neighborhood pantries, soup kitchens, and anti-hunger groups to get nutritious food to our neighbors who need it. The 5K is as resilient as our local anti-hunger movement, having briefly become a “Walk Against Hunger” and going completely virtual as the world confronted the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now back in-person at the Navy Yard, we invite participants in all formats! You can run, walk, or complete the 5K virtually. For those who are serious about their metrics, our course is USATF certified.
Here are some more ways you can get involved with the Race Against Hunger
-
You can amplify your impact for our local communities by rallying your friends, colleagues, and family members to join you at the Race Against Hunger. You’ll even get your own team landing page where you can raise funds to support our critical work connecting local families and individuals with the food they need.
-
Supporting our work with a donation makes it possible for us to connect over 500,000 people in Philadelphia with vital food resources. Learn more about how we do this by checking out our work!
-
Help us spread the word to rally runners and walkers on Saturday, September 28th at the Navy Yard. The more people we gather, the more awareness and support we can build to end hunger across Philadelphia!
Follow us and share on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, or share this page with anyone you think would be interested in joining us!

We need hands-on help to bring the Race Against Hunger to life, and there are a number of volunteer positions to fill at the 5K and leading up to race day! From guiding racers along the course to distributing posters and flyers, we rely on the support of our volunteers to make the 5K a success each year.
