Souper Bowl 5K -

AT THE "STRONG SUGGESTION" of the City of Philadelphia Office of Risk Management we postponed the 2026 Souper Bowl 5K

 

Super Football Weekend 

There’s a new race, coming to Northeast Philly on the Saturday before the BIG GAME! our rescheduled date is the weekend before training camp opens!

 

A 5K on a shorter version of the NorFEAST 4 Miler course, along the Northeast Philadelphia Airport bike path.

The turn around will be near Avalon Street along Academy Road.

 

 

 

Packet Pick-Up and Late Registration beings at 7:30AM inside Northeast SkateZone.

The race doesn’t start until 11:00AM so you can sleep in on Saturday (hopefully it will warm up a bit after sunrise) and still make the start of the race!

There may even be halftime entertainment!

 

Bathroom facilities are also INDOORS!

 

THIS CHANGE: SOUP MUGS & spoons TO THOSE REGISTERED BY January 17, 2026 We ordered some extra so there's still a chance you'll get one. If you registered for the rescheduled date you'll be getting a commemorative pint glass.

 

SOUP at the finish! Please do not take food back inside SkateZone.

 

MEDALS

In keeping with the tradition of races at this location we'll be giving out a themed medal, but it will not be the same boring traditional race finisher medal. 

 

We're hoping cheerleaders will send you off and welcome you back to the finish. If you know a group that would like to come out, we would love to hear from you.

 

Gridiron themed awards for the top three men and women overall and in these age groups:

19 & Under, 20-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60+ Women, 60-69 Men, 70+ Men

Age groups may be altered depending on registration demographics
