A. In response to the City of Philadelphia’s new mask mandate, and for the safety of all participants, we have moved the Friday Night Kickoff Party outdoors on Pepsi Plaza and the Main Concourse. The program will remain unchanged, and masks are not required while outdoors.  Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are strongly encouraged to wear a mask at all times unless actively eating or drinking.  All individuals will be required to wear a mask when visiting indoor spaces at Lincoln Financial Field, including restrooms.  In the event of rain, the party and food service will be moved entirely to the Main Concourse.

Masks are not required for individuals participating in Saturday’s 5k walk/run, the Sensory Walk and bicycle rides. Masks are required for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, during the on-field program featuring Jeffrey Lurie’s remarks and recognition of our top fundraisers and teams.  Individuals who choose to remain on the field for this will be required to wear masks, but participants will also have the opportunity to move to the lower bowl seating, where they can socially distance in the stands and not wear a mask for that portion of the Finish Line Celebration.

Please Note: masks are required for any participants requiring assistance from our SAG (support and gear) vehicles out on the routes. These will be available in the vehicles.
