    The PRTC Indoor Classic: March 7th, 2026

    Presented by Philly Runner and Cloudline PT

    Powered by On

    Join us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026 for the 2nd Annual PRTC Indoor Classic at the University of Pennsylvania's Jane and David Ott Center.

    In our first year, we had over five-hundred athletes from across the region and country compete, athletes ranging in ages from 13 to 81, and a Master's World Record. Youth clubs, high school teams, college club teams, master's teams, community run clubs, and elite post-collegiate teams are all able to find an opportunity to finish their indoor track season.

    In year two, we are expanding our meet and are committed to providing an unintimidating, approachable environment for athletes from all experience levels to compete.

    The PRTC Indoor Classic is USATF Sanctioned and is on the World Athletics calendar. All events will have:

    • Open sections: run slow to fast and grouped based on expected finish time with pacers marking milestone finish times (e.g. mile in 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, 6:30, etc.) for select events.

    • Masters sections: masters-athlete-only (40 years and above) sections, eligible for prize money ($800 prize pool).

    • High Performance sections: optimally paced, highly competitive, elite fields with prize money ($2,000 prize pool).

    ⭐ New in 2026:

    • The 400m Sprint: We've added the 400m Sprint to provide more opportunities to sprint athletes.

    • It costs less if you're doubling: 50%-off the costlier event if registering for the 200m, 400m, 800m, and Mile (3,000m and Distance Medley Relay excluded; applied at check-out).

    • Easier DMR registration: This year, there will be one purchaser for each Distance Medley Relay team. This cost is applied when relay captain creates the relay team. Subsequent members must sign-up on RunSignUp and join their relay (they pay $0 at check-out).

    • Featured Clubs: Featured Clubs will get a shout-out from our announcers at the meet. Check-out our Featured Clubs page. To add your club to the page, please complete the following form.

    Order of Events: The meet will follow a rolling schedule beginning with our first event, the 3000m, which will start sharply at 10:00am. The listed times are when you should start listening for the first calls of your event. Please pay attention to the announcements as we will announce first, second, and final calls for each event.

    • 9:00 AM: Doors open, track is available for warm-ups

    • 9:30 AM: expect calls for the 3000m

    • 9:45 AM: Begin clearing track

    • 10:00 AM: 3000m start
