PHILADELPHIA MARATHON WEEKEND
be a charity runner to support asa
ASA is excited to announce that we are an official charity partner for this year’s Philadelphia Marathon Weekend on November 21st and 22nd. Receive guaranteed entry by fundraising in support of our Wingman Program and make a difference in the lives of those living with disabilities as you participate in the 8k, Half Marathon or Full Marathon! You will be running on your own in support of ASA – you will not be pushing an ASA Athlete on a Wingman Team during your race.
Your support will make a difference! Not only will the funds you raise earn you a spot in the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend, but you will make it possible for every ASA Athlete living with disabilities to experience the love, dignity, and connection that comes through participation in The Wingman Program.
