MLK Jr. Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHILADELPHIA

This event is a Martin Luther King Jr. Day run held on January 16, 2027, at Wiggins Waterfront Park on Riverside Drive in Camden, NJ. The organizer frames the event as a smaller, capped group run that uses timed waves; waves are filled on a first come, first serve basis and participants may request a preferred wave time. A virtual run option is available and can be completed any time and place with submission of results to receive a medal.

Available race options include:

• 5K
• 10K
• Half‑Marathon (13.1 miles)
• Virtual Run
• Family 1 Mile Fun Run

Timing is optional and there are no timing chips; participants may track runs with apps and submit results or ask coordinators for timekeeping help. Swag is shipped directly to US mailing addresses and typically arrives the week of the race; race bibs are provided on race day. Standard swag items listed by the organizer include a running T shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, a digital training pack, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to local running clubs. A technical shirt upgrade is offered for a small additional fee. The event notes a charity initiative in which each mile logged after the race can trigger a one dollar donation to partner charities; fundraising is optional.
