After careful deliberation and consideration of the current public health crisis, we have made the extremely difficult decision to cancel Philly Run Fest this year. The health and safety of our participants, volunteers, staff, spectators, vendors, sponsors, and community is our top priority. We know this news is disappointing. We understand the time, hard work, and effort that goes into race training. We believe this is the responsible action to take in effort to keep everyone safe and not take valuable resources away from our local health system.
We are extremely grateful for your support, understanding and patience as we navigate this unfamiliar course and present options for your consideration:
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Again, we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time for all of us. Your support means so much to us. We look forward to running with you all next summer! Until then, be safe and keep running!
