Central High Athletic Field (map)
A group favorite! Registration will not open until mid-February, but last year it closed after only 3 days, so stay alert! Course: A 10-mile, point-to-point course (named one of the fastest 10-mile courses in the country by Runner's World) starts at the Central High School Athletic Field at Broad Street and Somerville Avenue. The course is a pleasing run past the varied neighborhoods of Philadelphia along Broad Street. It finishes inside the Philadelphia Navy Yard at the end of Broad Street in South Philadelphia. There are eleven water stations, digital clocks at each Mile, aid stations, port-a-potties, entertainment and numerous ambulances on the course. The course is traffic-free in the south-bound lanes and monitored by police. This course is certified by USATF.
I'm in ... have IBX as my insurance carrier so I got to sign-up the day before.
Very cool... I can't believe this filled up so quickly- something like 5 hours and it closed.
Good luck to all tomorrow... looks like good running weather! If you'd like to get together before and/or after the race, call or text me at 856.404.5423.
Signup is mid-Feb ... make sure to sign up ASAP or you will miss your chance.
