Changes for the 2023 Race Include April Date, New Finish Line
Instead of the first Sunday in May, the annual 10-mile race will take place on the last Sunday in April this year with the official date being April 30, 2023, the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department announced.
Organizers had to move the date due to a Phillies-Red Sox game taking place on May 7, 2023.
The race will also go back to the full field of 40,000 runners, the largest crowd for the event since before the pandemic. This year, all of the pre-COVID activities will return to the race along the route and in South Philadelphia.
"Bring your children and loved ones to the race," the race website said. "Kids events and post-race activities will return, and families are welcome at the finish line."
The finish line is changing this year as well as runners will end the race at Lot K near Lincoln Financial Field.
If you can't make it to Broad Street for the race but still want to participate, a virtual option is being offered by organizers.
