The Loop Race

The Loop Run – December 7 – 10:00am

Lloyd Hall, 1 Boathouse Row, Philadelphia, PA 19128

This 8.4 mile fall classic follows Philadelphiaʼs most beautiful recreational path around the Schuylkill River. Started in 1972 by Dave Brier of the Jewish Y, this race has been a local favorite “cult” race for 40 years. The course is run on the sidewalk and is self contained the whole way and free of any traffic. The course passes many historic sites including the Rocky Statue and the Art Museum steps he made famous, the East Falls Bridge, Laurel Hill Cemetery, Strawberry Mansion Bridge, and Boat House Row. The course is almost entirely flat. Proceeds of the event will benefit the development and maintenance of Fairmount Park, specifically the Belmont Plateau Cross Country courses. Philadelphia Athletic Charities is committed to providing for the upkeep of the Belmont Plateau which is used by thousands of cross country runners. Join us at the Bishop’s Collar for the post-race party.

$25 pre-registered, $30 race day
