This signature race with Philly roots since 1978, had a rebirth in 2021 when local business owners stood in solidarity to replant those roots and chose to grow without limits. They boldly were the first major road race nationwide to offer a Non-Binary division complete with EQUAL prize money for elite Non-Binary athletes. They're re-writing a future where distance running is increasingly inclusive.
Hey PDR participants - WELCOME! We're excited to be the official coaching provider for the Philadelphia Distance Run Half & 5k on Sunday 9/15.

That's why we put together a team of game-changing coaches to prioritize your experience well before you toe that starting line. See how it works below and what to expect with your virtual group coaching.
We're all about being inclusive here and we don't want you winging it. We want everyone to know that they can be adequately prepared, supported and equipped to reach their PDR starting lines. We're so glad you chose our game-changing Women of Color Certified Run Coaches who are redefining what experts and leaders look like in the running industry. We appreciate you seeing us and raising your hand to be a part of a bigger message. We see you too and the future is certainly powered with possibilities!
Choose from: beginner, intermediate or advance as there's a plan for everyone, from the beginner who is running their first race to the experienced who wants to PR.
Set up a free Final Surge account which will allow you to effortlessly view and manage your workouts. Plus we'll be providing a demo so you know exactly how to use it.
Join custom run clinics on various topics: kick start your training, nutrition, injury prevention, using the PDR as your transition fall race, race day readiness, post race recovery and more.
Want to ask a question live? We'll have designated times between run clinics to meet in an open zoom office hour.
