About
The Blobfest 5k and Children's Fun Run! takes place in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, on July 11, 2027, with a half marathon (13.1 miles) at 7:00 a.m., a 10K (6.2 miles) at 8:00 a.m. and a 5K (3.1 miles) at 8:10 a.m. It is part of the annual Blobfest celebrating the 1958 cult film "The Blob," and supports the Colonial Theatre, where the movie was shot.
Every participant receives a medal. A course-decorating contest rewards the best local creations with gift cards, and part of the registration fees goes to the theater.
