THE ROCKY RUN IS COMING!

Friday, May, 12, 2023

Detail rock

By Lee Romano Sequeira

 
"Going in one more round when you don't think you can - that's what makes all the difference in your life." ~ Rocky Balboa 
 
More than 45 years ago, Rocky hit the big screen, with a story and message that have become almost inseparable from the identity of the city where it all happened: Philadelphia.
 
Whether Philly is your native or adopted hometown, you know we love our underdogs and we go all in when they rise up to the challenge. 
 
Now it's your turn. The Rocky Balboa Run will take place this November 11th, starting from a key Rocky landmark, the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
 
You can rise up to your own challenge, even choosing what it will be. 
 
The Rocky Run has 3 options: a 5K (3.1 mile) run, a 10-mile run, or the combined 13.1 miles (5K + 10 mile) Italian Stallion Challenge. 
 
Run it alone or, better yet, rally your friends and run as a team! That extra motivation will carry you across the finish line, and right to your post-race victory celebration!
 
Everyone running will receive a Rocky Run cotton tee and bib number. Finish your race within the pacing requirements, and you'll receive a finisher medal for the race you've run. Complete the Italian Stallion Challenge within the pacing requirements, and you'll earn 3 medals! (one for each of the other 2 races, plus the combined race medal). 
 
Contests will be held for best costumes and largest teams plus, the top 3 overall male and female finishers for each race will receive awards.
 
And, if you're not near Philly, you can choose the virtual option and run the race from where you are!
