Upcoming Events

Philly 10K - August 25

The 11th annual Philly 10K marks the most significant updates to the race since we launched in 2014. In addition to the only opportunity of the year to run through the heart of South Philly on fully closed streets, this year we are adding The Philly Mile and a Kids Dash (what can we say? The founders both had babies and have grown soft) as part of the Diadora Kickoff Party festivities at FDR Park.
