The 10-mile, point-to-point course is a gentle downgrade that runs from the northern edge of Philadelphia down to its southern tip. You'll pass many of the city's most important landmarks along the way, including Temple University, City Hall, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Avenue of the Arts and the Philadelphia stadium complex.
Expect record-breaking times and a field of about 18,000 runners on this USATF-certified course, which rates as one of the fastest in the county by Runner's World Magazine. The race finishes inside the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
There is a fee for entry and registration is required. Due to the limited amount of parking in the start area, runners are asked to park (free) near the finish area at Broad and Pattison. From there the SEPTA Broad Street subway line (free) will take runners to the starting point at Central High School. Find even more info in the helpful FAQ section of the Broad Street Run website.
Don't miss the Expo, held May 1 and 2 at Lincoln Financial Field, where you'll get your race number and shirt as well as your program guide. There will be vendors and refreshments as well as activities for kids.
