Souper Bowl 5K -

AT THE "STRONG SUGGESTION" of the City of Philadelphia Office of Risk Management we are postponing the 2026 Souper Bowl 5K due to the expected conditions at race time and the heavy exposure at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport. In keeping with the information below we have requested the July 25, 2026, race date, keeping with the opening of TRAINING CAMP. As soon as that is approved we will reopen registration. We will be starting at 8:30AM and the give away will change from a soup mug to a pint glass. Super Football Weekend There’s a new race, coming to Northeast Philly on the Saturday before the BIG GAME! 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. Like the big game we’ll have a late start. Packet Pick-Up and Late Registration beings at 10:00AM 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 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 Additionally we will awards $100 runBUCKS CrackedBell gift cards to the first man and woman wearing the winning team’s colors on race day. We won’t know that until about 11PM on Sunday February 8, 2026. (Colors means official gear not just a shirt that may match the colors of each team in the big game.) POST RACE OPEN SKATE Northeast SkateZone is extending an offer to attend Public Skating after the race for the reduced group price of $13 per person.
