About

The Market Street ‘Run for Blue’ is an annual event in Philadelphia, with a 5-mile run (8 km) and a 3-mile walk, both starting at 8:00 a.m. on October 18, 2026, giving participants the chance to run or walk in support of the Philadelphia Police Department. It raises money for the Philadelphia Police Foundation.

The race starts at the corner of Front Street and Dock Street and finishes at a street festival at 2nd and Market Streets. Participants receive a long-sleeve T-shirt and a medal, and the top runners in each age group are recognized. The event also features interactive law enforcement exhibits and entertainment, building community ties and engagement with the police department.
