From the Organizer
Each year on National Slurpee Day, local runner Matthew Cooper takes on a unique challenge: running to every 7-Eleven across Philadelphia County. This tradition has evolved into a dedicated fundraising effort for Students Run Philly Style, a youth mentorship organization. This year marks the first time we're opening up this opportunity for others to join Matthew. We invite both ultrarunners and Slurpee lovers to participate in the effort and help us further support Students Run Philly Style.
You can join Matthew for all or part of the run, jumping in at any point along the route. We'll share course details, live tracking, and more with registered participants closer to the date.
