Sloth Run 5K/10K/13.1 PHILADELPHIA

Experience running like never before with this unique and relaxed race, designed for those who love taking things slow and savoring the community spirit. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll find yourself in an intimate setting that celebrates every participant as more than just another number.
The event keeps its field small and personal, ensuring that each wave feels like a close-knit gathering rather than a crowded affair. Waves are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, so early registration is key to securing your spot—once waves sell out, virtual run options or waitlists become the next steps.
This race welcomes all paces and ages (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult), encouraging runners to enjoy their own pace whether they are sprinting ahead or taking a leisurely stroll. The atmosphere is stress-free with no gear requirements, no setup fuss, just you, your companions, the course, and supportive coordinators cheering from the sidelines.
Timing isn't mandatory; participants can track their performance using apps like Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or any similar platform, then submit it for posting online. Alternatively, race-day coordinators are available to assist with timing if preferred.
Upon signing up, you receive a host of benefits including a running T-shirt (U.S. mailing address required), a finisher’s medal, and an email containing your virtual training run details ahead of the event week. Additionally, participants gain access to local running clubs for continued support in achieving their fitness goals.
The swag bag also includes online results and certificates upon completion. For those looking to upgrade their gear, lightweight moisture-wicking technical shirts are available at a small additional cost.
Packet pickup is non-existent here; your race bibs will be handed out on the day of the event while your swag package ships directly to you. If registration occurs within two weeks before the race date, there's no guarantee that your shirt will arrive in time but don't let this hold you back—come as you are and join us for a memorable run!
Race details and course maps will be sent via email by Wednesday of the week preceding the event. Waves start at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM respectively, with coordinators staying on-site up to three hours post-wave start times.
Virtual runners also have their perks, featuring a digital training pack that can be completed anytime, anywhere, followed by submission of results for your well-deserved medal. Bundle discounts are available when signing up for multiple races, and sponsorship opportunities exist for businesses looking to connect with the community.
Volunteers play an integral role in bringing these events to life; if you're interested in joining Team Glo Volunteers, there's a dedicated sign-up link provided. For those passionate about charitable causes, discover how your mission can be supported through fundraising efforts without any costs incurred.
