A unique German-themed experience that pairs a high-spirited Oktoberfest atmosphere with an uncompromising summer challenge. Face the possible summer heat, tackle the "Achterbahn" hills, and celebrate with the best post-race party in endurance sports.
New Location for 2026
Pennypack Park, Corner of Welsh Road and Cresco Ave, Philadelphia, PA.
The start location has changed due to the relocation of our post-race party!
View Area Road Map Start/Finish/Parking MapOn race day only, starting at 6:30 AM on location at the Ed Kelly Amphitheater.
Along the Pennypack Creek within the limits of Pennypack park. The course utilizes the paved bike path along the creek with no traffic at all.
You get to run miles within the city limits of Philadelphia without seeing a house or a car. The midsection features short but steep rolling hills and a trail section (Mount Cuckoo).
Some refer to this course as an "Achterbahn" (rollercoaster). It’s not easy, but it’s a great challenge for experienced runners.
"Is this a Boston Qualifier? Hell no!!!!! This is a summer race; high temps will make this harder than you anticipate. No whining on race day."
