Delco 10 Miler

The Delco 10 Miler is a 10-mile road race held in autumn in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. It begins at 8 a.m. at Rose Tree Park in Upper Providence Township and concludes just outside Subaru Park in Chester. This point-to-point run from park to pitch requires participants to maintain at least a 13:30-per-mile pace for timely road reopenings. The field is limited to 2,500 runners, following an earlier edition that drew approximately 1,200. The course connects four municipalities and numerous Delco neighborhoods, featuring a downhill trajectory from the park toward the stadium. Organizers state it is the first race of its kind in Delaware County, serving local and athletic purposes. Proceeds benefit nonprofits and community programs. Participants receive a medal, a tech shirt, and entry to the post-race gathering at Union Yards, which includes a beverage and a cheesesteak (or vegetarian option) with their bib.
