Broad Street Run

Broad Street Run is a signature city road race held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, offering runners one of the country’s most recognizable and community-driven urban racing experiences. Best known for its straight shot down the heart of Broad Street, the race gives participants a rare chance to run through the city’s neighborhoods on a closed major corridor while thousands of spectators line the route. With its 10-mile distance, huge field size, and deep local identity, the event occupies a unique place on the American running calendar, feeling both highly competitive and unmistakably Philadelphia.
