FOX 29's Lauren Dugan has the story. PHILADELPHIA - The starting buzzer that should be signaling Broad Street runners is silent this year.
The famous 10 mile Philly road race did not commence for the first time in the last 40 years. Long time runner Patty Hogan was not going to let coronavirus slow her down, even though the Philadelphia Broad Street Run was postponed until October 4th. “Today is my favorite day of the year, the Philadelphia Broad Street run,” Hogan said. “To know that I’ve raised so much money and am able to make lemonade out of the hand I’ve been dealt.” She runs for her late husband, Philadelphia Firefighter Sean Hogan of Ladder 2.
