2008 Blue Cross Broad Street Run, May 4
The 2008 Blue Cross Broad Street Run will be held Sunday, May 4, 2008 at 8:30 A.M.
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, 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. Registration opens in Mid-Feb. This is a great, fast, flat race! Hope to see some of you there.
