The Best Races - Central Waterfront

A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 Philadelphia is hosted by The Best Races at Wiggins Waterfront Park, Riverside Drive, Camden, NJ, offering three distances: 5K, 10K, and half-marathon. The event channels a festive holiday vibe with a smaller, private, wave-based format and caps per wave, creating a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It emphasizes a stress-free experience: no race-day timing chips, though self-timing via apps is available; bibs are provided on race day.

Swag includes a shirt shipped to registrants, a finisher medal, towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack, plus online results and club invitations. Virtual options and charitable initiatives enhance the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
