Philly is all about sports hustle, and this week’s gold medal for quirky athletic joy goes to tomorrow’s Rocky Run at Eakins Oval, 6 am to noon. This iconic 5K and 10K lets you dash up the famous “Rocky Steps” while strangers yell, “Yo Adrian!” Saturday gets wilder with the 25th Annual Peoplehood Parade, starting at Paul Roberson House and finishing at Clark Park from 1 to 4 pm.
