Event Information
All three races start and finish at Eakins Oval, below the Rocky Steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and head out along the Schuylkill River on fully closed roads with the city skyline behind you. The course is flat and fast: Strava measures under 15 m of climbing on every distance.
5K: an out-and-back along the river, 5.0 km.
10K: an out-and-back further up the river, 10.0 km.
10 Mile: 16.1 km on the same river drives, covering the riverside more than once before the finish back at the Oval.
Minimum ages: 10 Mile 17, 10K 15, 5K 11.
Cut-off: 9:30am for all races because the road closures lift then (2.5 hours from the 7:00am 10 Mile start, 2 hours from the 7:30am 5K and 10K starts). The exact line for each distance is on the Strava route.
