How does parks and recreation put on Something Like this . We have a great staff that takes positions on the various committees all along the way. They work hard on it as well as running all the reck centers and playgrounds throughout the whole course of the year. Im the only one whos assigned to the broad street run. Everyone else does it as a labor of love. I have other duties also with the parks and rec department. So we all do it because we want to do it and its a great event for the city and its always been providing a Recreational Activity for the philadelphia area. And that was our premise in the very distinction, and and thats been our premise all along. And thats what we do and now we happen to have 40,000 people joining us. Which is amazing. Everyone talks about it being such a fun run. The fact that its on broad street. How does that make it special . Its so unique because the straight shot all the way down. The only turn we have is right around city hall. And for running ten miles, broad street is the longest straight street in the city. And for them to use 10 out of the 12 1 2 miles of broad street to participate on it thats what makes it so unique and the fact theyre running through all the neighborhoods. You see the full flavor of philadelphia as you go through this race course and the runners have a ball with it. And we are very lucky to have great sponsors, you know, independence, blue cross and everyone else. And we cant thank nbc 10 enough for all the live coverage today.
