Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHILADELPHIA
About the race
Celebrate Veterans Day with our annual Freedom Run. Join our 5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon, whether you are running for a personal best or walking with friends and family, and honor the Veterans who have sacrificed to protect our freedom.
You can optionally raise funds for a charity of your choice. 100% of the net funds raised will go towards your cause of choice.
This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave, so it never feels crowded and you are never just a bib number. All paces and ages are welcome (under 18 with a guardian).
Timing
Timing is optional. Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our online form to get posted. Or ask a coordinator to help time you.
There are no timing chips.
Wave start times
- Wave A: 7:30 AM
- Wave B: 8:00 AM
- Wave C: 8:30 AM
Running late? Jump in when you arrive. Our coordinators stay on-site for 3 hours after the first wave. Times may change depending on the season, so check your participant info email.
Packet pickup and bibs
There is no packet pickup. Your swag ships straight to your door. Double-check your full US mailing address, including apartment number, when you register, as your shirt is sent to this address. Race bibs are handed out on race day.
Shirt delivery
Your shirt will arrive at your mailing address the week of your race.
Signing up within 2 weeks of the race
Shipping may not catch up in time, so your shirt could arrive after race day. You are welcome to wear whatever you like and run with us anyway.
Final participant info
We will send final participant info by the Wednesday before race day, with all the details and course maps.
Virtual run option
Prefer to run on your own time? Our Virtual Run includes a digital training pack to keep you on track. Run it whenever and wherever, with any tracking device you like (optional), then send your results to [email protected] to claim your medal.
Once a wave sells out, you can take the virtual run option or join the waitlist.
Charity initiatives
Organizations with a mission that helps people around the world can fundraise with us at no cost to them.
