Souper Bowl 5K - Philadelphia, PA
The Souper Bowl 5K is a community running event held at 10990 Decatur Rd, Philadelphia (ZIP 19154). The course follows a shorter version of the NorFEAST 4 Miler route along the Northeast Philadelphia Airport bike path, with a turnaround near Avalon Street along Academy Road. Packet pick-up and late registration take place inside Northeast SkateZone, where indoor bathroom facilities are available.
The finish area includes soup service; participants are asked not to take food back inside SkateZone. Organizers planned soup for 2026 as a tomato bouillon with chicken stock and alphabet pasta; this offering is not suitable for vegans and those with wheat allergies, and no substitutes will be provided. Souvenir items: soup mugs and spoons were offered to registrants by January 17, 2026, and registrants for the rescheduled date will receive a commemorative pint glass.
Awards are gridiron themed and recognize the top three men and women overall and in age groups 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60+ Women, 60-69 Men, and 70+ Men; age-group structure may be altered based on registration demographics. There may be halftime entertainment and cheerleader presence. Northeast SkateZone offers an optional public skating session after the event at a reduced group price of $13 per person. The race director reserves the right to alter or shorten the course for weather or safety reasons and may reschedule if conditions make the route unusable.
