Runners from each and every Philadelphia community - fast runners and slow runners, trail runners and road runners, ultra-runners and 5K specialists, competitors and volunteers - coming together to represent the "team" they call their own. 5 Events, held on a single day, with a single start/finish line. May the best team win!
Runners from clubs around the Philadelphia area compete in 5 distances: 5K, 5 mile, 10K, 10 mile, and Half Marathon. The top male and female from each club, in each race, will earn points (based on ranking) for their club. So, if there are 30 teams, the first place male gets first, second place gets 29, and so on. When all runners are done, the points are totaled and the club with the most points is declared champion!
All your glory is for your team!
Each club has the option to select a Charity of significance to them. The club that raises the most money wins the Charity Challenge - and earns an additional $2,000 donation to their charity from Independence Blue Cross. Pick the charity associated with your club, and donate!
