Give us a race with kayaking, naked bowling, and murderball any day. For anyone who thinks running just to run is just plain boring, the urban adventuring event that is City Chase USA is where it's at. Saturday morning in Love Park with started off some pre-chase chocolate covered cricket smoothie drinkin', an on-the-spot, off-key rendition of the national anthem sung a guy wearing shiny, shiny Rocky shorts and a warm up session led by two trainers from race sponsor Sweat Fitness. If there's one best decision Team Phillyist made along the way, it was to NOT DO SQUATS before literally running around Philadelphia for 4 hours. Crazy Sweat Trainer Dude: I would come take your class—that was a good live commercial. But did no one tell you the amount of cardio that was about to commence? (Hint: a lot).

Fun around town, for $10 or less:

UrbanPromise is an independent, faith-based non-profit in Camden. For the past eighteen years, the organization's mission has been to provide after school programs, summer camps, and job training for youth in Camden. It also runs two schools - one is kindergarten through eighth grade, the other is a high school.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is the sport of the working man (and woman!), which is why Phillyist was delighted to see the new Lucky Strike Lanes open up on Chestnut Street near Broad. Here, we thought, is our chance to hang out with friends, wear some smelly shoes that belong to who-knows who, drink cheap beer, eat bad nachos made with unnaturally Florescent cheese product, make the person closest to us explain again how to score a strike if someone gets it after getting a spare in the final frame, and every so often get up up to throw a heavy metal sphere down the lane only to watch it land in the gutter. Again. (Or you could try to hit the pins; we understand some people prefer that.) Ultimately - a laid back, casual night out where everyone can be themselves and not worry about their footwear or overall fashion.
