Old, Smelly Shoes Make Nice Playgrounds

On Sunday, April 19 the Valley Forge Revoluntionary Five-mile Run is going green.

The run will take place at the VF National Historical Park and will be part of Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program.

Reuse-A-Shoe takes used athletic shoes and grinds them. The sneakers are then used to make playground and sports surfaces.

So, grab those stinky sneaks and head to Valley Forge for a run!

Register for the run for just $25 or a three-mile walk for $15. Proceeds will benefit the Park's trail preservation initiatives.
