Rocky 50th Anniversary Run Starts in Philadelphia Today; 570 People Dressed as Rocky Set Guinness World Record
To mark the 50th anniversary of the film "Rocky," Philadelphia held the official 50th Anniversary Rocky Run on Nov. 14, with the 5K starting at 7 a.m. and the 10-mile race at 8 a.m. in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. According to the event's official website, entries for both races have sold out, and finishers will receive a medal commemorating the film's 50th anniversary; runners who enter both races can take on the "Italian Stallion Challenge," completing both races back-to-back for a total of 13.1 miles to earn three medals, with a timed uphill section called "Mount Drago." The finish line is set in front of the museum's main entrance and does not pass the famous museum steps. On Nov. 13, 570 fans dressed in black high-top sneakers and gray sweat suits gathered on the museum steps, setting a Guinness World Record for the most people dressed as Rocky. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, despite cold wind and light rain, fans still broke the record by a clear margin. Philadelphia's "Rocky Season" celebrations will continue until "Rocky Day" on Dec. 3.
