Organizers expect 40,000 runners, both in-person and virtually, to participate in the 10-mile run on Sunday morning.
Runners are ready to gather on Broad Street for the 43rd annual Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run on Sunday, April 30, at 8 a.m. After three years of pandemic conditions, the event will not have any health restrictions and will welcome back runners and cheer squads.
"There's nothing like the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run," said Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Commissioner Kathryn Ott-Lovell. "It celebrates everything that makes Philadelphia Philly: community, spirit, and a no-quit attitude. The whole city is energized and inspired by you." The 10-mile race traditionally takes place on the first Sunday in May but is in April this year due to a Phillies home game against the Boston Red Sox on May 7. Due to ongoing construction on Broad Street, the race will begin at Broad & Fisher and end on 11th Street, between the Wells Fargo Center and Lincoln Financial Field. Runners can also participate in the virtual race that allows them to walk or run the race distance at their own pace at any location.
Road closures for the race will begin on Sunday at 2 a.m. and the following closures will be in effect: 7:00 a.m. Broad St from Windrim Ave to Pattison Ave7:00 a.m. 16th Street from JFK Blvd to Market St7:00 a.m. Hartranft St from Broad St to Citizens Bank Way7:00 a.m. Pattison Ave from Citizens Bank Way to S Broad StSpectators can attend the race and gather on Broad Street to cheer on participants.
