Get ready to kick off Super Football Weekend in style at the inaugural Souper Bowl 5K, happening on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA! This exciting new event offers a unique and festive running experience in Northeast Philly. Runners will enjoy a scenic 3.1-mile (5K) course along the Northeast Philadelphia Airport bike path, known for its flat terrain, making it ideal for both seasoned runners aiming for a personal best and first-timers seeking a fun, accessible race. Typical race day conditions in early February see highs around 42F and lows around 26F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, providing a crisp atmosphere for a spirited run.

The Souper Bowl 5K stands out with its celebratory "Big Game" theme and a leisurely 11:00 AM start time, allowing participants to sleep in before lacing up. Packet pick-up, late registration, and convenient indoor bathroom facilities are all available at the Northeast SkateZone, located at 10990 Decatur Road, which also serves as the race's hub. Finishers will be treated to delicious soup—a tomato bouillon with a chicken stock base and Alphabet Soup pasta—and receive a unique themed medal. Early registrants (the first 250) will also snag a commemorative soup mug.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, the race promises potential halftime entertainment and special gridiron-themed awards for top finishers across various age groups. Show your team spirit by wearing your favorite team's official colors, as the first man and woman in the winning team's colors will each receive a $100 gift card. Beyond the finish line, participants can extend the fun with a discounted public skating session at Northeast SkateZone. The Souper Bowl 5K also proudly supports meaningful causes, benefiting the Kyle Ambrogi Foundation, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and MANNA.
