WHY YAP

More than an audience—a community that shows up.

YAP brings together outgoing Philadelphians in their 20s and 30s through runs, sports, social events, and adventures around the city.

Our members come to stay active, meet people, and discover more of Philly. That gives partners a natural way to introduce their business, space, or product through an experience people genuinely want to join—and share with friends.

Get to know us through Philadelphia Runner’s YAP profile and ESEO’s conversation with our founder.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Bring us an idea—or build one with us.

Every partnership is different. These are a few places we can start:

Host the community

Welcome YAP to your venue for a post-run hang, social, or a custom experience. Preferred: event specials for the community.

Create something together

Collaborate on a run, open play, seasonal outing, launch event, or entirely new concept designed for both communities. Preferred: Product trials, prizes, exclusive offers, or other benefits our members will genuinely enjoy.

Sponsor the experience

Sponsor YAP programming: by the season (e.g. Fall 2026), by league (e.g. tennis league), or by event (e.g. refreshments, free coffee/drink/snack)

A GOOD FIT

Who We Partner With
