The National LIFE Runners Team is the world’s largest Pro-Life running/walking team.
Hundreds of faithful from across the nation will come together to run and walk in support of life at the Philadelphia Marathon November 18-20, 2016. Founded in 2008, LIFE Runners run to raise awareness of life issues and funding for pregnancy resource centers across the country.
This year, LIFE Runners will attend the Philadelphia Marathon to “Proclaim Liberty” (Isaiah 61:1) for the Unborn. Following Saturday’s race, all are invited to a Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul. The principal celebrant will be LIFE Runners national chaplain, Most Reverend Thomas J. Paprocki, Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois.
