Route information
Join us for the RunThrough USA Philadelphia Labor Day 10 Mile, 5K & 10K on Monday 7th September 2026
We’re excited to be back in the heart of Philadelphia this Labor Day with two brilliant race routes designed to showcase the very best of the city. All distances start in front of the iconic Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, taking runners on scenic, fast courses through Fairmount Park and along the picturesque Schuylkill River. Expect wide paths, flowing turns, and a route perfect for both first-timers and those chasing a personal best. The 5K offers a shorter, punchy out-and-back style route—ideal for newer runners or anyone looking for a fast effort—while the 10K extends further along the river for a more challenging but equally rewarding experience. With a proven track record of delivering high-quality events in the UK, RunThrough brings a well-organised, supportive race-day atmosphere to every event. From start line to finish, you’ll be part of an energetic and welcoming running community. Whether you’re aiming for a PB or just looking to enjoy a great run in a stunning location, sign up for the 5K or 10K and be part of an unforgettable Labor Day race experience.
