Welcome Walk - Philadelphia, PA

Welcome Walk is held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 24, 2026, starting at 9 a.m. Staged as the Asylum Pride House 2026 Welcome Walk, it covers 5K, or 3.1 miles, and the walking format means there is no pace to keep up with and no cutoff hanging over you.

Events like this one are less about racing than about turning out, which makes them a good first outing if you are just starting to build a habit around walking or running. Three miles takes most people around an hour on foot. If you would like to make it feel easy, add two or three walks of forty-five minutes a week in the month beforehand, and wear shoes you have already broken in rather than something new.
