2016 Love Run Registration Opening Day – 9/16/15!
On Wednesday, September 16, registration will open for the Philly Love Run Half Marathon, taking place on April 10, 2016. Not only will opening day registration cost only $60, 150 lucky runners will get in for 1/2 of that price!
How It Works
- You register for the race and pay the opening day promotional rate of $60.00. Every hour from 10 am – 3 pm, CGI Racing will draw the names of about 25 entrants who have won a 1/2 price entry fee. At the top of each hour these names will be posted on the Love Run Facebook page (so make sure you like us). If you see your name. BAM – you’re in for just $30.
- Every hour we will put back in all the names of anyone entered at that time but has not yet won. Enter early for more chances to win.
- The winners will be refunded in about 5 days to reflect the discounted entry fee.
- Even if you don’t win you still win, because only on Opening Day until 12:00 am (midnight) will you have the chance to enter for just $60.00.

oh looks like so much fun! If I don’t get into Cherry Blossom I may have to sign up. Or I could just come for the carb crawl
The carb crawl is so intriguing, right? I know Cherry Blossom is the weekend before…hopefully I’ll be able to do both!
This may be a race for my bucket list…the medal is awesome and I love the logo!
Come to Philly!!
This race keeps getting better and better! Carb crawl and beer festival?!? It’s like they know me.
Haha, I’m so excited about this race!
I was coming on here to say that I ran the inaugural race and loved it, and then I noticed that I’M IN THAT PICTURE!!!! I’m the one in the grey jacket on the right! That is totally crazy!
Hey Kristen, that is so cool!! I remember hearing how tough it was that year with the pouring rain and cold!
Sounds like a great deal! Hope you are one of the chosen that gets 1/2 off! Btw, I am doing the Trenton 10K this year. Will you be doing it?
Hey Sharon! I still plan on running the Trenton 10K, I just have to finally register! Hope to finally meet you!!
Carb. Crawl!!! Are you going to sign up? I think I might have to….
Yes I’m definitely going to do this race, very excited! Definitely think about registering!!
I love this race!! I’ve PR each year I’ve raced it 🙂 Not sure if I will be back for #3 (still trying to finalize my spring schedule – depends how I feel after October haha).
This definitely sounds like a race I keep in the back of my mind:)
Awesome!
argh!! I’ve been wanting to do this race since it started!! not sure about the date though but thanks for the heads up!! I definitely want to consider it.
It’s never worked out for me either but I really want to do it this year! Think about it! 🙂
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this race! With my little boy due at the end of December, I’m hesitant to start signing up for major Spring races. I know I want to register for a race to help keep me motivated in getting my pre-baby body back, just not sure what the timing of a race should be yet.
Oh, that is totally understandable! I can hardly imagine myself racing while pregnant, let alone months after giving birth…so admirable!
Oh wow love that medal, I hate this run is too far from me 🙁 Boo!
The medal alone makes it very tempting right?!
What a unique race idea. I’d be psyched to get a race for only $30 especially with great swag.
This looks fun! My mom hasn’t done Pennsylvania yet, I am going to share this with her. She is trying to do a half in every state.
That is an awesome goal!
This looks like so much fun! WIsh I lived closer!
Looking forward to a fun time! Hopefully I’ll start doing more traveling to races!
Oooo that’s an awesome medal!! I also love it when races support local initiatives as opposed to larger charities. It’s nice to see the little guys getting some help! 🙂
I totally agree with you Ariana!
Ohhh, I’ve been looking for a goal half marathon in the spring..one that I haven’t done before. Maybe this should be it?
That would be awesome if you signed up! 🙂
I love the medal! Any chance you could grab an extra t-shirt and send it to me. Love it!
Oh how I would love to be able to run this race! I grew up outside of Philadelphia. I LOVE the medals!!!
Does anyone know of a current discount code? I want to sign up before the end of the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks.
