UPDATE 3/23/2020: Race organizers and the City of Philadelphia have decided to postpone the 2020 Blue Cross Broad Street Run to October 4, 2020. This decision was not taken lightly. Based on recommendations by the CDC and after consulting with the City’s Health Department, this is the best way to keep all runners, volunteers, staff, and spectators as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is an evolving situation and details are still being worked out. Please visit the Broad Street Run’s website for more information.
We are thrilled to announce our 2020 lineup of extra special guided runs! These 3- to 7-mile runs are designed for our 2020 Park Champion Runners who are running Broad Street Run with Fairmount Park Conservancy. (It’s not too late to join our team if you’re looking for a Broad Street Bib for 2020.)
Our guided runs will be led by Kevin Roche, the Conservancy’s Associate Director of Foundation Relations, who will share wonderful hidden gems in Philly’s parks through this series, from the Trolley Trail in West Fairmount Park to the history and future of FDR Park in South Philly.
