Back in the Spring After 2 Years of COVID-Impacted Fall Races
Broad Street Run
The in-person, spring edition of the Blue Cross Broad Street Run comes after two years of races that were unlike any of the four decades of previous runs.
The 2020 race was held virtually in October after the pandemic clobbered large in-person events.
A smaller-than-normal field of runners then took part in the 2021 race, which was held in person in the fall with a new course and COVID restrictions in place.
It wasn't immediately clear what the exact course will be in 2022.
NBC10 and Telemundo 62 are your homes for the Blue Cross Broad Street Run and we will continue to update you on race details in the weeks ahead.
