MIDNIGHT RUN PHILLY
About this Event
🚨 IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE
The 12th Annual Philly Midnight Run has exceeded all expectations, with more than 5,000 participants registered and counting!
Because of the incredible response from our community, registration will remain open so everyone who wants to be part of this historic experience has the opportunity to join us on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
Shirts & Finisher Medals This is the first year we’re providing commemorative event shirts and finisher medals.
Due to the overwhelming number of registrations, shirts and medals will be distributed while supplies last. Our team is actively working with sponsors and community partners to secure additional shirts and medals so we can accommodate as many participants as possible. While we are optimistic, we cannot guarantee that every participant will receive one.
Most importantly, the Philly Midnight Run has always been about something bigger than a shirt or a medal.
For the past 12 years, we’ve brought thousands of people together to celebrate health, wellness, community, movement, and the power of Philadelphia. Whether you run, walk, jog, volunteer, or simply come to support, you are part of what makes this event special.
We On A Mission presents:
