Click Here to Volunteer with Fast Tracks at the Philadelphia Marathon

For many years, Fast Tracks has provided the volunteer support at the Mile-9.8 water stop on the Philadelphia Marathon race course. We need volunteers to participate! It's a fun and rewarding morning and it’s important to the runners who need us.

And if that doesn’t convince you, we have a FREE SWEATSHIRT for you, too!

Runners of all ages, paces, and levels of experience are welcome to join us for a run. Fast Tracks coordinates a variety of runs throughout the week. These are our most popular weekly runs:

Saturday Morning Long Run

The Saturday morning long distance training (LDT) run typically starts at 7am.  Most weeks, the group meets at the Betzwood Pincic Area for a run on the schuylkill river trail but locations do sometimes vary from week to week. Some runners do up to 20 miles while others just do a few. Either way, the Saturday morning long run provides a social way to train for an upcoming race or just enjoy a scenic group run.

Sunday Morning Coffee Run

The Sunday morning coffee run starts at the Gateway Plaza Panera Bread at 7am. Very informal, easy pace. 5-6 miles through Chesterbrook and Wilson Farm Park.
