Philly Mayor's Cup
About this race
This is the Mayor's Cup: Runners from each and every Philadelphia community - fast runners and slow runners, trail runners and road runners, ultra-runners and 5K specialists, competitors and volunteers - coming together to represent the "team" they call their own.
5 Events, held on a single day, with a single start/finish line. Clubs from all over the city, coming together for competition and socialization: if you do not have the password for your club (or want to find a new club so that you can get involved), all club contact information can be found here.
There are no individual winners. The top male and female from each club, in each race, will earn points (based on ranking) for their club. The winning club will be the Mayor's Cup Champion.
May the Best Club Win.
The Mayor's Cup was born out of a simple observation: Philadelphia has a tremendous network of local Running Clubs that challenge, motivate, and inspire allegiance from their runners.
Each race distance has a separate start time. Please verify your start time!
All registrations require a password from your club - if you do not know the password for your club, please contact your Team Captain via the information in their club page (here).
