The winners in the men’s and women’s divisions will win glass bowls which are hand-blown by Hudson Beach Glass of Old City in Philadelphia. Age group winners will win tree seedlings. About Hudson Beach Glass: Sean Gilvey, a third generation glassblower from New York, and his wife Emily, a Philadelphia native, opened Hudson Beach Glass Philadelphia in October 2008. Sean, 31, has been making glass for 19 years (ever since he was tall enough to see into the furnace) and produces his exquisite glasses, ornaments and more in the Strawberry Street store.

A message from race director Phil Ranly:
I helped start this race 4 years ago with these two ideas in mind.
- The Wissahickon park needs help. Invasive species and degradation of the land threaten this urban oasis.
- The trails in the park are a gem and worth sharing with others in the Philadelphia region. The race combines my love of physical challenge, friendship, and competition within a beautiful natural setting.
I hope to see you June 6!
