About this race

Take Your Team to the Finish Line
Baseball season is heading toward October. Before the playoffs begin, we’re giving fans another reason to get up, get moving, and represent their favorite team.

The Playoff Run Virtual 10K designed by The Everyday Athlete by Run Tri Bike and Black At The Ballpark begins September 13 and runs through September 29—the opening day of the MLB playoffs.

Your challenge: complete 6.2 miles before the postseason begins.

Run it. Walk it. Do a little of both. Knock out all 6.2 miles at once or spread them across multiple days. There are no pace requirements, no cutoff times, and absolutely no reason to worry about what the clock says.

Movement is the goal.

Along the way, you’ll also choose which baseball squad you’re representing. We can’t use official team names, so get creative. Maybe you're racing for The Bronx Pinstripes, The South Side, The Desert Snakes, The North Side, or your own nickname for the team you spend all summer cheering, yelling, and occasionally questioning your life choices over.

Whether you’re already logging miles every week, starting a new fitness journey, or simply looking for a fun reason to get outside, you belong here.

Grab your favorite baseball cap. Lace up your shoes. Represent your squad.

Then start collecting those miles.

6.2 miles. 17 days. Any pace. Any place.

Let’s move our way to October.

25% of the after costs proceed will be donated to The Players Alliance
