Welcome to the Athletes' Village!
The Athletes' Village is the heart and soul of Philly Mayor's Cup. It's where teams gather, cheer, eat, drink, and celebrate! The Village is set up on race morning by you: the running clubs of Philadelphia.
How It Works
Each club is responsible for bringing their own village setup. Club space is staked out as you arrive, first-come, first-serve. Clubs each recieve 3 parking permits for the lot closest to the Athletes' Village; it is recommended that one of your drivers with a parking permit help transport your gear.
- Pop up tents, blankets, etc, are encouraged for your comfort, but not required
- Each club will get a simple, staked sign to mark your area; additional signage is welcome.
- Please make sure that your setup is not tearing up the grass or in any way damaging the property
- Food and beverages are fair game (and highly recommended!) – we encourage sharing your surplus with other teams to get to know each other!
- Please be respectful of any group electing not to have alcohol in their area
- We are generally trusting of our running community, but you leave items in your group area at your own risk.
- If you aren’t sure if you can do it in Fairmount Park, here are all the rules: Parks & Rec Rules
The club with the best Athletes' Village setup wins the annual Spirit Award.
