Annual Market Street Run for Blue

In 2019, a new yearly tradition began—an opportunity to run or walk Market Street in support of the Philadelphia Police Department. The 5-mile route starts in Old City near the Delaware River, stretches 2.5 miles to 30th Street Station by the Schuylkill River, and loops back to the finish. Each step taken shows our unity, strength, and appreciation for those who serve and protect our city.
