The Wistar Institute is a leading independent research institute in Philadelphia with a mission to advance cures for cancer and infectious diseases. Wistar trainees (pre- and post-doctoral research fellows) play an essential role in the transformative research we do every day.
The Wistar Trainee Association is hosting a virtual 2-mile fun run/walk. All funds raised will directly support training, education, and the development of our next generation of biomedical researchers. Thank you for your support!
For this virtual run/walk, participants will commit to completing the 2-mile distance at the location of their choice during the weekend of November 13 - 15.
When: Friday, Nov. 13 to Sun., Nov. 15, 2020
Where: Outside or on a treadmill (i.e. in your neighborhood, maintaining good social distancing)
How: Registration to run or walk is $20 and includes an exclusive Wistar mask and hand sanitizer.
If you are unable to participate but would like to support the trainees, you can donate in support of a team or registrant.
All participants are encouraged to post a selfie on social media at the end of their walk/run using the hashtag #WistarRunsForResearch2020.
