Overview
- The 47th Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run, which takes place Sunday morning, will send about 40,000 runners from Central High School on North Broad to the Navy Yard finish.
- Wheelchair racers start at 6:55 a.m. and the first wave at 7 a.m., with runners asked to be in corrals by 6:40 a.m.
- No parking is allowed on Broad Street from 2 a.m. to noon, and the city will close the route in phases starting 4 a.m. near the start, then 6:30 a.m. to Erie Avenue, with the rest shutting down by 7:15 a.m. and reopening by around noon.
- SEPTA will run free Broad Street Line rides through noon for bib holders, detour dozens of bus routes during the race, and run shuttles from the Navy Yard finish to NRG Station.
- Drivers should use the Columbus Boulevard/Washington Avenue exit from I-95 due to the Walt Whitman Bridge/Packer Avenue closure, and police will direct detours as the city pushes RUNPHL text alerts and enforces a drone ban over the course.
