Competition slots are being snapped up for the groundbreaking 10-mile race happening in Delaware County
The Delco 10 Miler, set to take place on September 28, 2025, is poised to become a significant event in the Delaware Valley. This inaugural downhill 10-mile race in Delaware County promises to showcase the county's attractions while fostering community spirit[1][3].
The race, starting at Rose Tree Park in Upper Providence Township, will conclude near Subaru Park in Chester, offering runners an exciting and challenging course[1]. With a goal of attracting over 1,000 participants, the Delco 10 Miler aims to grow in future years and join the ranks of other major races in the Philadelphia region[1].
Community benefits of the Delco 10 Miler extend beyond the race itself. Proceeds from the event will support local nonprofits such as Delco Arts, the Delaware County Parks & Recreation Department, and the HEADstrong Foundation[1][5]. Moreover, the race encourages health and fitness among residents, providing an opportunity for exercise and participation in a well-organised running event[3].
The race director, Kevin Nolan, expressed his desire to provide runners with a "flawless" experience and a great party after the race[4]. To ensure a smooth event, volunteers are still needed to help section off roads for the Delco 10 Miler[5].
For those interested in supporting the Delco 10 Miler, the race's website offers options for financial donations and sponsorship opportunities[2][6]. The website also serves as a source for fact-based, in-depth journalism and information about the race[6].
Upon completing the race, participants can look forward to free food and refreshments, including beer, burgers, cheesesteaks, and hot dogs, at the finish line[7].
In essence, the Delco 10 Miler serves as both a physical challenge and a community-building event, generating funds for local causes and enhancing Delaware County’s profile as a vibrant and connected place to live and visit[1]. With slots still open, don't miss out on this opportunity to be a part of a new local tradition.
