WHERE AND WHEN CAN I PICK UP MY BIB?

The Philly 10K Diadora Kickoff Party is THE place to pick up your bib.

Location: Philadelphia Runner Center City - 1711 Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19103

Dates & Times: Thursday, August 22nd - Saturday, August 24th between 11AM - 6PM

There is no race day pick-up unless you added this as a paid option during registration. You can add this option at a later date if you’re not sure at the time of registration.

Virtual Only registration includes shipping of the race shirt.

I CAN'T PICK UP MY RACE BIB, CAN A FRIEND Pick Mine UP?

Sure! Just make sure that they have a copy of the confirmation email you were sent when you registered (on your phone works).  A photocopy (or digital picture) of your ID will work too.

I AM COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN AND Can't MAKE IT TO THE BIB PICK-UP, HOW CAN I GET MY BIB?

If you (or a friend with the proper information - see above) can’t pick your items up at bib pick-up, there will be race day pick-up available for an additional fee at registration checkout. You can add this option at a later date if you’re not sure at the time of registration.

For last minute issues, please contact info@thephilly10k.com. We cannot guarantee accommodation for anyone who cannot get their bib prior to race day.

What about the heat?

Depending on the year, race morning can be fairly warm. We start our race early to ensure that runners experience cooler temperatures than if we started later however, temperatures on race morning can be warmer than what you are used to racing in. We have additional cool-off methods such as cold sponges at the finish line in addition to 3 water stops on course and bottled water at the finish to ensure proper hydration support for all runners.

IS THE PHILLY 10K A CHARITY RACE?

The Philly 10K is not operated by a charity. We donate a portion of registration proceeds directly to a new charitable cause each year. We also work with some of our closest charitable organization friends to offer fundraising bibs, which allow these partners to raise around $10,000 each year.

Philadelphia Runner, a local running store based in Philadelphia since 2004 and a founding partner of The Philly 10K, supports numerous races, organizations, clubs, and causes in the Philadelphia region every year, working tirelessly to serve the running community and do things the right way.
