Rocky Run, Philadelphia - November 14, 2026
Rocky Run is a large multi-distance running event in the heart of Philadelphia presented by Athletifreak. The event gathers 40,000 runners and is listed as sold out for the 2026 edition.
Race options include:
- 5K
- 10 Mile
- Half Marathon (13.1) via the Italian Stallion Challenge
The 13.1 Italian Stallion Challenge combines the 5K and the 10 Mile into a single half marathon distance and awards three finisher medals for completing both races. Official race swag includes three finisher medals and one race shirt.
The 10 Mile course features a notable climb called Mount Drago. Ascent times on Mount Drago are recorded using timing mats from the base to the summit, and the fastest 100 male and the fastest 100 female finishers on that segment earn a Mount Drago finisher medal.
The event also includes a Rocky Run Club that offers organized training runs, shakeout runs, and merchandise drops. A charity option is available: participants who raise $350 for Special Olympics receive a free entry to the 2026 Rocky Run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
