Run for Coffee Lovers PHILADELPHIA 2026

Run for Coffee Lovers PHILADELPHIA offers a 5K, 10K, and half marathon centered on coffee in Philadelphia. It uses small, private waves instead of a large group start. Participants can select morning waves at 7:30, 8:00, or 8:30 AM, with each wave closing once full. All running paces are accommodated, and participants under 18 require a guardian. A virtual option is available for those who cannot attend in person or if the in-person waves fill up. This event is designed as a relaxed run, not a competitive, chip-timed race. Timing is optional, and participants may use an app or ask race coordinators for assistance with tracking their time. There is no packet pickup; shirts are mailed to registrants, and bibs are distributed on race day. All finishers get a medal, a towel or other giveaway, online results, a completion certificate, and a digital training pack. Organizers also encourage participants to join local run clubs, and $1 is donated to charity for every mile logged post-race.
