About the Corremos Philadelphia - Independence Charter School
The course runs through the Philadelphia Navy Yard, a sprawling historic waterfront complex that gives the route an industrial, wide-open feel. The terrain is flat, with views of the water and the old naval architecture around you. There are several distance options, from a quick loop to a longer timed run, so the field tends to be a mix of people with different goals.
The race benefits the Independence Charter School's Take Flight program, which funds study abroad experiences for students. Online registration is available on race day itself, though arriving early is worth it. Trophies go to top fundraisers and top registration teams, and classrooms compete for their own prize, so there is some friendly competition beyond the race itself.
