Run This: Historical Philly Run

See the sights - without looking like a tourist.

When you’ve lived in a city for so long, it can be easy to forget what makes it unique and important. To revisit Philly’s historical roots but skip the long-winded tour guide, join City Running Tours on July 17 for a five and half mile Historical Philly Run. After meeting in Center City, you’ll foot a route featuring centuries-old houses in historic neighborhoods, the iconic statue at Love Park, and of course, the Liberty Bell. It’s a perfect way to burn cals and see the sights – without looking like an out-of-towner. Bonus: tour runners will snag 15 percent off regularly priced items at Philadelphia Runner on that day. – Kathryn Siegel
