Welcome to Team Vegan Philly! We are a group of vegan and vegetarian athletes from the greater Philadelphia region currently training to run for the second year in a row in the Philadelphia Marathon (with marathon, half-marathon, and 8k races).

We’re lacing up our running shoes and hitting the pavement to raise money for the great veg outreach efforts being done by the Humane League of Philadelphia!. We’re also here to raise awareness that not only is a vegan diet great for the animals’ lives, it’s great for our lives too - making us leaner, healthier, and more energetic!

We hope that you will join us, either through running with us in one of the upcoming races (8k, half-marathon, or marathon), or by sponsoring one of our dedicated runners! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!
