SEPTA Service for Komen Run

from the inbox:

The 24th Annual Susan G. Komen Philadelphia Race for the Cure 5K Run/Walk returns on Sunday, May 11, 2014. SEPTA will provide extra early Sunday morning Regional Rail trains to accommodate traditionally large crowds heading to the event. In addition, nineteen SEPTA bus routes will experience significant detours around Center City road closures scheduled for the duration of the event. 

 Travelers may want to consider using rail transportation where available to avoid surface delays during the event. Underground service on the Market Frankford Line, Broad Street Line, Subway Surface Trollies, and Regional Rail Trains will be the best option to avoid potential surface travel delays.
