We welcome Thriftway & Shop n' Bag as our new breakfast sponsor and caterer—and, boy, are you in for a treat! Breakfast will be served from 6 – 7 AM in the Survivor/Sponsor tent.  You may bring a friend using the pink guest ticket on your Race bib. Come early, fuel up, and enjoy your big day—compliments of Thriftway &Shop n' Bag.

EXPANDED PARKING
This year will be easier than ever for you to park and walk or ride to the Race site in time for the opening ceremonies, thanks to MORE PARKING options in the Fairmount park area. Plus, shuttle service will be available between parking lots and Eakins Oval.

GO PINK, GO GREEN, GO SEPTA
Suburbanites can leave traffic and gas prices behind and let SEPTA take care of all your Race-day transportation! For just $9 you can purchase an ALL-DAY, UNLIMITED, pass entitling you to ride on all SEPTA vehicles. 

“CHANGE” FOR THE BETTER!
Sponsored by Dietz & Watson. This year’s Race will feature a LARGER THAN LIFE piggybank just waiting for you to “fill up its belly.” With your help, we aspire to raise tens-of-thousands of additional dollars. So, start gathering your spare change and dollars for a very important “deposit” on Race day.

ENJOY BRUNCH… ON RAE !
Renowned chef Daniel Stern is preparing a special Race day brunch at the award-winning RAE restaurant… and breast cancer survivors eat free, when accompanied by a paying guest (please present your pink Race bib). Start a new Race-day tradition with RAE, you’ll be glad you did. Perfect for SEPTA riders, RAE is located in the Cira Centre, right next to 30th Street Station!

HEY YOU GUYS!
We’re calling all men to step it up and support your women by registering for the Race. And, we’re making it worth your while with a “Legends of the Game” tent on Race Day (your Race bib serves as admission).
