Welcome
Dear runners,
Welcome to the 2021 Blue Cross Broad Street
Run! The health of our community, and the
resilience of our city, are the twin pillars of this
year’s race. Working hand in hand with the
Philadelphia Department of Public Health and our
partner Independence Blue Cross, race organizers
put the health and safety of runners at the heart of
every aspect of race planning and preparation.
Thanks to these efforts, we are celebrating a return
to Broad Street for the 2021 race! To keep runners
and volunteers safe, you will notice some important
changes this year:
  • The first hybrid Broad Street Run – The 2021
    Blue Cross Broad Street Run is offering a
    hybrid in-person and virtual race for the very first time. This flexibility
    means runners can put their health first when deciding how to participate in
    this year’s race.
  • A COVID-19 vaccination requirement – The 2021 Blue Cross Broad Street
    Run was one of the country’s first and largest urban road races to require
    proof of vaccination for in-person participation.
  • Masks throughout – Runners are required to mask up at the start and finish
    of the race, while staff and volunteers will be masked throughout. Lost your
    mask along the course? Look out for volunteers handing out Blue Cross
    Broad Street Run masks at the finish line.
  • Virtual cheering squads – The best way for spectators to support runners
    this year is to join a virtual cheer squad. Fans can watch the race live on
    sponsor station NBC10, and cheer runners on from the couch.
The pandemic has challenged us to find new ways to honor old traditions, and
the Blue Cross Broad Street Run is no exception. I hope we can build on the
familiar traditions of past races while making new memories from ‘the year
everything changed.’
Whether you are running in person or virtually, the training, commitment, and
time you’ve put in will propel you forward. Whatever new opportunities race day
brings, you are ready!
Sincerely,
 -Kathryn Ott-Lovell

“Every year, I’m impressed by the spirit and
                                           endurance of our runners, and I’m so excited that
                                           this special event is back. Philadelphia is proud
                                           to host the nation’s largest 10-miler, and I look
                                           forward to welcoming all the in-person and virtual
                                           participants to the race.”

                                         “The Blue Cross Broad Street Run is such an
                                           exciting time for Philadelphia! This year it’s an
                                           especially great way to celebrate both the strength
                                           and endurance of our city and of our runners. I
                                           wish all participants a healthy and safe race.”

                                           as the title sponsor of this iconic event.
                                          Our support of the Blue Cross Broad Street run
                                          is an example of our commitment to the health
                                          and well-being of all our neighbors in Greater
                                          Philadelphia. Over the past year and a half,
                                          that commitment has driven our efforts to help
                                          communities address the COVID-19 pandemic,
                                          as well as to advocate for health equity so that
                                          everyone has the same opportunity to live a happy,
                                          healthy life.
                                          Whether you’re running on Broad Street or
                                          participating virtually, I wish all this year’s
                                          participants a safe run and a personal best!”

   12    Race Program and Information Guide
Start Area
Gear check
Use the clear plastic bags you received at the Expo to check your gear for FREE.
Here’s how gear check works:
  • Put some form of identification, including your name, address, and phone
    number, inside your bag in case we need to ship the bag back to you after the
    race. We won’t accept garments outside of the bag.
  • Find a gear check bus located around the start area, including Olney Avenue,
    Old York Road, and Somerville Avenue. Consult the map on page 10 for
    specific locations.
  • Check your gear by 7:45 a.m.
  • Attach one wristband to your bag and give your bag to the gear volunteer. Keep
    the second wristband and sticker with you. You will need these to help you find
    your bus and claim your bag at the finish area.
  • Remember the bus number in which you checked your gear because buses will
    not be loaded by bib number.
  • Pick up your gear in the PIDC parking lot toward the exit. Consult the map on
    page 16 for specific locations.
We will not accept any personal backpacks or other large bags at gear check on
race day; you must have a clear bag. For your safety and the safety of others, all
personal bags will be subject to inspection.

     blue water flags in the start area and along the course.

     Safety and security
     Masks are required for all runners on the subway to the Start Area, in corrals,
     and after crossing the Finish Line.

     Refreshments
     At the end of the race, remove the food tag from your bib and give it to the
     volunteers in the refreshment tent to receive a refreshment packet. Our preparations
     included one of each item per runner. Please be considerate of others and only take
     one of each item.
     Once you leave, please don’t return to the refreshment area. Additional water is
     available at water tanks around the Finish Area.

     We ask all runners to help keep the area clean.
     Please put all waste in the proper receptacles.

     Medal distribution
     All medals will be distributed at the rear of each runner refreshment tent.

     Exiting the finish area
     All runners will exit the finish area on the west side of Pattison Avenue. Shuttle
     buses will be located at 20th Street and Pattison Avenue.

     After the race
     There will be a designated pick-up location at Darien Street and Pattison Avenue.
     You will be able to take a shuttle from 20th Street and Pattison Avenue back to
     the designated pick-up spot or to the Sports Complex parking lots. Shuttle buses
