The "Rudolph, the Red–Nosed Reindeer" song has run many miles. Of course and undoubtedly, THEE BEST version is the 2012 impromptu, remixed rendition from Earl Simmons, famously and professionally known as DMX. New York City. Power 105.1 Radio Station. Someone goes to hand X a paper with the lyrics, and he says, “I know the lyrics,” then proceeds to make Holiday History! It's on my iTunes.
There's also a "remixed" version from Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., famously and professionally known as John Denver. I don't know the year or location haha, but in JD's rendition, his background vocalists drop catchy ad libs including:
"like Pinocchio"
"like Monopoly"
"like Columbus"
This, too, is on my iTunes.
Add both to your Apple Music or Spotify and head over to Philadelphia Runner Manayunk (4358 Main Street) this Saturday. In collaboration with the Manayunk Development Corporation and Brooks Running, everyone is invited to run with us, in your holiday best, for the 10th Annual Rudolph Run.
Saturday, December 14th! Run Start will be at Canal View Park on Main & Gay Streets.
The 3–mile run along the Manayunk Canal will begin at 9am. Check–in for the run will be at our Manayunk location on Main Street starting at 8:30am.
Again: holiday attire is encouraged!
RSVP HERE to sign up! To help spread some holiday cheer to those in need we'll be collecting canned goods and other necessities for our friends at North Light Community Center as donations/entry fee. Donation drop–off will be during runner check in at our shop on Main Street.
Limited holiday apparel and footwear is online if you need something for Saturday! Our friends from Brooks will have their latest and greatest footwear for you to test out on the run and some special post run treats back in our shop afterward.
Hope to see you out there!
Please note: This is a fun run, not a race! Registration is free and encouraged.
