Event Route Approved!

Good news! Our event route was just approved! The official route is below. Participants start at 22nd and Montrose and run/walk South on 22nd to Kimball, and then take a Left to complete the first loop. They continue with a second loop, which will take participants to 22nd and Christian. We’ve enhanced our event route to confirm a true 5K (3.1 mile) distance and added this block to the end of the route: from 22nd and Christian, continue East on Christian (straight past 22nd), and take a RIGHT on 21st. Then, take a quick RIGHT on Montrose. Finally, take a LEFT at 22nd, and run/walk directly into the Finish Line chute. Congratulations!

This winding route takes you through some of the most beautiful blocks in SoutWest Center City including its beautiful Garden Blocks of Saint Albans and Madison Sq.
