The Loop Race

The Loop Race – December 6 – 8.4 mile race starts at 10:00am – registration begins at 8:30am

Lloyd Hall, 1 Boathouse Row, Philadelphia, PA 19130

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 42 years. The course is run on the trail 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. The post-race party will be at the Bishop’s Collar where the first beverage is on us! The Collar is within walking distance of the start/finish area. 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. Fees: $20 until 8/30; $25 until 9/30; $30 until 11/15; $35 until 12/6; $40 race day.
