PLEASE READ: INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:
OPEN WATER SERIES EVENT OCCUR IN A RIVER SUBJECT TO FLOW AND RUNOFF CONDITIONS. All races will be held rain or shine. Two things will cause the race to be postponed: 1) Lightning in the area, and 2) water quality due to stormwater runoff.

Ultimately, we will make a call by 12 noon and email registrants as well as posting it on our Facebook page at that time. Rain dates are typically Thursday of the same week, unless we post otherwise. If there is light rain during the event, we will still swim. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF CONDITIONS, BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE RIVER, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY RACE TO BE HELD AT THE TIME INDICATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FLEXIBILITY!
Prizes
Custom awards will be given for the top 3 in each category and age group, based on points scored in each race. Award winners must be present at the final race of the season (8/25) to claim their awards.

FAQs:
Do you have a GPS/GPX of the course? Because our trails are very close together, the file will look like spaghetti on your GPS device. Look for pre-ride announcements on our www.facebook.com or www.challengermtb.com page. The course is fully marked before Friday June 13th. If the weather is agreeable, it MAY be marked sooner, but it's 100% marked by Friday afternoon.
Do you offer Guided Pre-Rides? Yes, we do. They are posted on our Bike Reg Page, and our Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/ChallengerMTB/ Pre-Rides will be broken down based upon CAT1, CAT2, CAT3, and E-Bike speeds. Meaning whichever CAT you will be racing, attend the matching pre ride. If you want to find out about the private pre-rides be sure to subscribe to our newsletter on our website.
Can I pre-ride the day of the race? Yes, as long as you are OFF THE COURSE BY 8:15 AM SHARP.
The course is different from previous years. Is there still room for passing? Yes. There are several wide passing zones spread out over the course. There are 3 new additional wide passing zones early in the race. We believe we have found a great balance between awesome single track, and wide passing areas.
You've added an E-Bike class. When are they racing? Once the CAT 3 racer have finished for the day, then we will launch our separate E-Bike category. The approximate start time is 2:20 pm.
What is an E-Bike? An E-Bike is a pedal assisted bicycle. Meaning it can not have a throttle and you must pedal to activate the assist. All E-Bikes must be a Class 1 bicycle.
Can I race my E-Bike earlier in the day? NO. E-Bikes can only race in the E-Bike category starting around 2:20pm.
Can I register on the day of the race? Yes, there will be an additional $10 charge (above the Bikereg.com fee) to register on the day of the race. All day-of registrations are CASH ONLY! There are 5 ATM machines within 1 mile of our venue. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Paypal and checks are NOT CASH! Bring paper (dead Presidents) CASH if you will be registering the day of the race.

We are beyond excited to celebrate the 6th Annual Philadelphia HBCU 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, June 27, 2026! This milestone event is a true testament to the incredible support and dedication from our community, and it’s thanks to all of you that this has become the largest run/walk of its kind in the country.
For the past six years, we’ve come together in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware, alongside our HBCU Alumni Alliance affiliates in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., to raise crucial funds for our students while promoting healthy living. With your help, we’ve successfully raised over $100K in scholarships, directly benefiting students across our region.
This year, we return to Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, NJ, with the excitement of both in-person and virtual participation to ensure everyone—no matter where they are—can continue to support this incredible cause. Together, we are building on the legacies of our beloved HBCUs, and every step taken will help continue this powerful tradition.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our corporate and individual supporters for your unwavering commitment. Your involvement brings our event motto to life: “Run for YOU, Run for THEM, Run for OUR LEGACY.” Without your support, this event would not be possible.
Let’s continue this journey together, honoring the past, empowering the future, and running for the next generation of HBCU students! Thank you for being part of this legacy!
Service is our Legacy & Future,
Khia K. Naylor
