Monster Milers and Voluntourism in Your City

Trends / Voluntourism

One way to explore your own city or a new one: Go for a run. Explore the ins and outs, city streets, green trails and beautiful landmarks you may not notice on your day to day. Take your run one step further and volunteer for a local charity or fun run — as Philadelphia residents may already know, The Monster Milers do.

The Monster Milers raise funds for animal shelters, foster pets and animals in need through partnerships with local business. Dog-loving runners and volunteers sign up for fun runs, volunteer meet-ups, shelter group runs and Rescue5ks.

Sign up to volunteer for a run with a loving pet looking for a good home. Check out the full calendar of events, runs and ways to contribute to the cause — all while exploring your city and getting some exercise.

Not in the Philadelphia area? There are plenty of other ways to contribute. International Animal Rescue focuses on saving animals worldwide from harm and hosts a variety of volunteer and tourism opportunities. Get out and about on a run, event or make a trip out of it and do some good while you’re there.
