Gear up for a cherished tradition at the Superbowl Tailgate Trot 10K, set to take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Allentown, PA. Celebrating its 24th year, this festive 10K race has been a beloved Superbowl Sunday staple since 2002, offering runners a vibrant start to their big game day. Kicking off at 9:30 AM from the Lehigh Valley Road Runners Clubhouse in scenic Lehigh Parkway, participants will navigate a course that winds through the picturesque parkway and a local neighborhood. While the course remains open to traffic with volunteer and police assistance at intersections, runners can expect a generally flat to rolling paved route, providing a pleasant and manageable challenge for all levels.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 40F and lows near 22F, alongside a 14% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating winter running weather. Aid stations will be available on the course with water, and bottled water awaits at the finish line to help runners refuel. The atmosphere is consistently praised as well-organized and fun, with a celebratory spirit that embraces the Superbowl theme.

Beyond the kilometers, the Superbowl Tailgate Trot 10K spoils its participants with excellent amenities. All registrants receive a long-sleeve shirt (though early registration by January 26th is recommended to guarantee sizing), and the finish line celebration features an array of post-race treats, including pizza, soft pretzels, and cookies. Competitive runners will vie for cash prizes awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as the top Masters male and female, while age group winners receive gift certificates. With a generous two-hour time limit, this 10K welcomes runners aged 10 and up to be part of an enduring community event before the Superbowl festivities truly begin.
