About the race
The Rudolph Run is the 12th annual holiday fun run held in Manayunk on December 12, 2026. The event features a canal-path route along Main Street and is presented as a non-competitive fun run rather than a timed race.
The route distance is 3.1 miles. Runner check-in and gear drop take place at the Philadelphia Runner Manayunk shop at 4358 Main Street, and the run begins at Canal View Park on Main Street. Ho-Ho-HOKA will offer footwear for participants to try during the run, and the Manayunk shop will provide post-run treats and special shopping offers.
Holiday attire is encouraged; suggested items include lights, reindeer antlers, red noses, sparkles, and holiday sweaters. Organizers will distribute red noses and jingle bells to participants who want them.
Entry is by donation rather than a cash fee: canned goods and other necessities are collected for the North Light Community Center. Donations can be dropped off at Philadelphia Runner Manayunk during the week before the run or at runner check-in on the day of the event.
Registration for the event opens on August 9, 2026 and closes on December 11, 2026. Registration has no monetary fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
