2023 Broad Street Run Lottery Open Through Feb 15

PHILADELPHIA — The 2023 2023 Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run lottery is now open for runners to potentially join the nation’s largest 10-mile race.

Runners can sign up for the lottery now through 11:59 p.m. Feb. 15.

Register for the lottery online here.

Runners will be notified of their lottery status the week of Feb. 19.

In-person and virtual participation is available.

Those who are not selected in the lottery have the opportunity to run as part of a charity team or register for the virtual race option.

Organizers hope to have 40,000 participants in 2023.

This year's race is set for 8 a.m. Sunday, April 30.

The 10-mile race is usually held the first Sunday in May, but this year will take place one week earlier to avoid conflicting with another large sporting event in Philadelphia.

Kids’ events and post-race activities will be held, and spectators are welcome to cheer on runners along the course.

“There’s nothing like the magic of Broad Street. It’s where Philadelphians gather to celebrate special moments, like the Phillies winning the National League pennant or the Eagles’ recent NFC Championship,” said Gregory E. Deavens, president and CEO of Independence Blue Cross. “All runners should enter the lottery for this year’s Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run. The energy of this race can’t be beat. It is something every runner should experience at least once!”

After three years of pandemic conditions, the 2023 Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run will not have any health restrictions.

“We are committed to making the 2023 Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run safe and fun for 40,000 runners,” said Kathryn Ott Lovell, Commissioner of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. “Participants can run assured that their well-being is our number one priority.”

Group and individual volunteer opportunities are available with the 2023 Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run.
