Run Wild With LE&RN
at the Philadelphia Zoo!


2023 PA 5K Run/1K Walk

to Fight Lymphatic Diseases (LD)

October 1, 2023 • 7 am Registration • 8 am Run/Walk

Run Wild with LE&RN!



Join the Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) for the Philly Tri-State 5K Run/1K Walk to Fight Lymphatic Diseases (LD). Help LE&RN continue its mission by running or walking on behalf of the estimated 10 million Americans and 250 million worldwide who are living with lymphedema (LE), and countless others fighting lipedema (LI) and lymphatic anomalies.


LE&RN's mission is to fight LD through education, research, and advocacy, but it doesn't happen without you. The Zoo won't open to the public until 10 am and we'll have this magnificent space to ourselves as we come together to increase funding and awareness.  All registered participants will then be free to enjoy the Zoo on their own for the rest of the day.

Don't miss this great event!


We've raised $14.6K Our Goal $25,000

We're fundraising to make a difference in the lives of those living with LD!

You can help fundraise for LE&RN once you register. Or just make a donation.
