Philly Mayor’s Cup Philadelphia, PA   Aug 8, 2026

The Philly Mayor’s Cup is a celebration of the Philadelphia running community, held on historic Belmot Plateau. This one is only about the team: all runners compete for their chosen local running club and there are no individual winners.

One day, dozens of clubs, five races: 5K, 5 Mile, 10K, 10 Mile, and a Half Marathon.

Each distance includes challenging elements, including steep hills, technical trail elements, grass, and of course, August heat. Run your own pace and enjoy the views!

Please Note: These are NOT certified courses, and are subject to change due to trail conditions and road closures. All distances have a bit of “ish”, but we guarantee they will follow the general guidelines below, and will be within 10% of the advertised distance. GPS can be inaccurate, especially on curvy trails; please expect some variation in distance on your watches.

May the fastest team win!

*The team that has the most fun also wins. So does the one that raises the most for charity.
