The Back on My Feet Pajama Loop Run

THE 5th ANNUAL BACK ON MY FEET PAJAMA LOOP

REGISTER NOW

It’s hard enough getting up at the crack of dawn to run, so we decided to save you a step by creating the Pajama Loop, which may pose a problem for those of you who sleep nude (please put on something more than just slippers!). The race is an 8.4-mile loop around Philly's Schuylkill River running path and will be open to 525 people (see the course map).  The race starts at 6 a.m. on Sunday, July 15th in front of Lloyd Hall.

Registration

The registration fee is $30 will increase to $40 on April 1, 2012.

Please note that you can fundraise your registration, instead of paying up front, which is what the majority of participants choose to do. You have until July 12th to fundraise your registration fee and an automatic fundraising page will be created for you when register. Those who fundraise their registration fee can become a Super Pajama Loop Runner by raising $500 or more and receive an official 20in24 jacket. Take me to registration!

Please contact Casey Venella if you have questions or call 215-772-1080.

$300 will go to the 1st place male and female, $100 to the second place male and female and $50 to the third place male and female. There will also be an award for the best set of PJ's!

THE START/FINISH AREA

Situated on the banks and overlooking the Schuylkill River, just north of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Lloyd Hall is the only public athletic facility on Boathouse Row. This facility is air-conditioned and will be open the entire 24 hours to Lone Ranger and relay participants.

STROEHMANN RE-ENERGIZING STATIONS

There will be four re-energizing stations every two miles of the loop that will be stocked with plenty of food and fuels, bathrooms, sponges, medical kits, etc. Food items include fresh fruit, Clif bars, GU, pretzels, chips, etc. In addition, Lloyd Hall will have more substantial food, such as pizza, sandwiches, soft pretzels, etc. for the longer rests in between laps. GU20 and water will also be at every re-energizing station. In addition - there will be ice and wet towel stations every mile as well as a minimum of two misting stations on the course.

PACERS

Pacers are not allowed– no exceptions.

STREET CLOSINGS

While we are encouraging participants to run on the path, West River Drive will be closed during part of the day, allowing runners to run on the street during that time. However, Kelly Drive will remain open for traffic and all runners must run on the designated path when on that side. During the evening hours, all runners must run on the path - no exceptions. For safety, we encourage participants to stay on the path throughout the entire race.

MORE OFFICIAL RULES

Federal, state and county laws and ordinances must be followed at all times. There is only one road crossing, which will be manned, however there are some parking lots along the path. Watch out for cars entering/exiting parking lots. Obey all traffic laws.

Your race bib must be worn on the front and outside whatever clothing you are wearing. If scorers cannot see your number they cannot score you. It is the runner's responsibility to ensure that each lap completed is recorded.

While running a lap, stay on the designated course. Any racer that cuts the official course will disqualify that individual, or team from placing.
