Runners have the option to participate in the 5K -- which begins at 7:15 a.m., the 10K - which begins at 8 a.m., or the 15K -- which also begins at 8 a.m.
All participants will start at Eakins Oval, run along Kelly Drive and turn around just before the City Ave exit.
Police said motorists should expect all of Kelly Drive to be closed and heavy traffic in the area.
Upon registration, participants will receive a goodie bag and a finisher's mug filled with hot chocolate, chocolate fondue and dippable treats.
Don't forget to check out the post-run party at Eakins Oval and celebrate brotherly love and chocolate right in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Organizers said there will be music and vendors to enjoy in addition to sweet treats.
