PHILADELPHIA — The 42nd annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run is all set for Sunday.

Runners will step off at 8 a.m. at Broad Street and West Fisher Avenue to take on the 10-mile road race.

The awards ceremony, medal distribution, and other finishing line activities are limited to registered runners and will take place in the parking lot next to the NovaCare Complex, 1566-1999 Pattison Ave.

• Turn right to go south on Citizens Bank Way (11th Street) to Pattison Avenue.
