Were you someone who sadly did not get into the Broad Street Run Lottery? We understand your frustration. But all hope is not lost!
While you may not have gotten in by way of the traditional lottery system, you are still in luck. Below are a few ways to earn a Broad Street Run Bib (among many other cool items) through charity.
Fundraising through the Fairmount Park Conservancy.
To register for the race and guarantee your bib go to the registration site here. You will need to pay a $25.00 registration fee and then you will fundraise the remaining $475 by June 15th.
Follow the Fairmount Park Conservancy on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Fundraising through Back On My Feet Philadelphia
Join Back On My Feet Philly as they tackle the infamous 10-Miler with 30,000+ runners. Bypass the general race lottery system and guarantee your entry through the Back on My Feet FundRacing team.The FundRacing minimum for the 2015 Broad Street Run will be $500 with a $25 registration fee (that is put towards your fundraising minimum)
Fundraising through The American Cancer Society
Secure your registration today long before the race lottery opens, which gives you an extended period of time to surpass the $500 fundraising minimum to the American Cancer Society.
Your registration with DetermiNation is also your registration in the race itself. The individual fundraising goal is $500. Each athlete must fully commit to their fundraising goal before they will be registered in the event. The deadline recommit is March 12th in order to fully secure your race bib, but you have until May 21st to meet your fundraising minimum.
Fundraising through Students Run Philly Style
Commit to raise $500 through Students Run Philly Style by June 1st. Students Run Philly Style transforms students’ lives through running and mentorship. We pair volunteer Running Leaders with teams of students to inspire them to push themselves further than they ever imagined.
Fundraising through Magee Rehabilitation

Funds raised through Magee’s participation in the Blue Cross Broad Street Run support the Hospital’s wheelchair sports program.
