2025 Market Street Run for Blue
November 6, 2025
A Record-Breaking Success!
The 2025 Market Street Run for Blue was a tremendous success, setting new records! We were thrilled to welcome over 500 new participants this year, making it the biggest and best year yet. We extend our deepest gratitude to all of you for participating.
The event saw a huge turnout with 2,000 runners, walkers, volunteers, and community members gathering to celebrate our dedicated law enforcement and honor the sacrifices of our men and women in blue. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our participants and sponsors, we exceeded our fundraising goal, raising $249,000 and counting in support of the Philadelphia Police Department! Thank you!
We deeply appreciate the positive energy and support you shared, particularly for the families of our Final Mile Honorees, who will never be forgotten and will always be honored during that final mile. A special thank you to our esteemed guests who joined the morning’s festivities: 6abc anchor Sarah Bloomquist, PPD First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford, and Philadelphia City Councilman Mark Squilla.
Looking Ahead: October 2026
We are excited to announce we will be returning to Market Street in October 2026! As is tradition, we will confirm the exact date next May once the 2026 Eagles Schedule is finalized, ensuring our race avoids any conflict with an Eagles home game.
On behalf of the entire Philadelphia Police Foundation (PPF), thank you again for making the 7th annual Market Street Run for Blue an incredible success!
