Original Propaganda Athletic Club Where Every Pace Earns Equal Respect in Philadelphia
Original Propaganda Athletic Club launched in Philadelphia in 2012 with a bold vision: build a competitive running community where every athlete, at every level, belongs equally. Founded on the belief that a Couch-to-5K runner earns the same respect as a Boston qualifier, OPAC proves competition and inclusion are not opposites, they are the whole point. With around 45 official members, the crew welcomes anyone each Saturday, rotating between Eakins Oval and Washington Square in the heart of Philadelphia. Every Saturday at 8:45 AM, movement starts at 9. Choose your distance, walk 1.5 miles, run a 5K, or push five-plus miles. Same crew, same energy, every week of the year.
