Morning Suite Run
Join Us for the Suite Run
Join us on Wednesday, July 27th at 6:30am for a conference morning run with all the bells and whistles! There are multiple opportunities to participate:
- Run (or walk)! Take to the streets for a fun 3.5 mile loop through Philadelphia. Note: This is a fun run on city streets. Please obey all traffic signals and watch for cars.
- Learn! Not all participation is for runners and walkers. Instead, join us at the hotel to see the RaceDay Suite in action, including RaceDay CheckIn App, RaceDay Scoring, and RaceJoy in action. This is your chance to observe and ask.
- Cheer! Want to stay in bed a little longer? You can still participate, too, by signing into RaceJoy, tracking runners, and sending along your own custom cheers.
Run Route
We will be taking you the Philadelphia Museum of Art, home of the famous Rocky steps and Rocky statue. via the the scenic Benjamin Franklin Parkway, home of the Franklin Institutes, Rodin Museum, and Barnes Foundation. On the way back, we'll traverse the beloved Schuylkill River Trail. We hope to see you there!
For those unfamiliar the the Rocky movie, the film stars Sylvester Stallone as an uneducated, Italian American boxer who is chosen to fight world heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed. The film franchise is home to one of the most iconic scenes in movie history - Stallone running up the art museum steps. Nobody can seem to skip their chance at recreating the iconic scene when they visit the art museum steps.
The museum itself is one of the largest art museums in the world in terms of gallery space. It is also one of the most visited art museums in the world. Plans for a massive expansion are currently underway, expected to be done by 2020. The museum houses everything from Ancient Chinese artwork to Picasso and Dalí.
