The Wawa 50k is coming back because of popular demand!WE are bringing back the Wawa 50k !! Some have had issues with the eating portion of the event and we sent it to corporate and they've decided to keep this event following the same guidelines as last year. "at least we tried."
If you want to be considered to be an official finisher you must consume and drink at every stop, eating inside the store. This year we are asking for volunteers to hang out and monitor your progress. Also available is create your own adventure portion which varies by what you are able to do. Some folks ran only halfway or just to a couple locations which is fine as well but keep in mind official finishers must follow the guide lines below. The course is the same as last year but there is discussion about a reversal, once the board meets and finalizes their decision you will be notified through the proper channels.
The intent of the Wawa 50k is to celebrate our love of running and Wawa.
Again- This is a FREE event for everyone!!! Running and eating has been a perfect combination and what had me hooked from the beginning when I discovered the world of ultras.
Team Trash Panda!!!
Post Thanksgiving day run for everyone to join in to get some miles in and explore 8 of Burlington County’s Wawas. Originally I attempted to create a wawa marathon 26.2 mile route to train for 2025s Badwater 135, but the route became a little long (31 miles.)
The Wawa 50k was born.
Rules are as follows at the start time 7 am at 7 we hop into the first Wawa purchase a food item and beverage consume it and head down to the next Wawa. Once there repeat , buy drink and food consume then continue. Vanessa and I did this route in May 2025 and didn’t carry any of our own supplies . We relied on the Wawas for fueling and fluids. Plus we decided on a rule for ourselves to eat and drink something different at each stop. Except water. You can pick up water from Wawa from the fountain machine for free but that doesn’t count as your drink. This is an unsupported on your own adventure run but that doesn’t stop us from forming groups and support each other along the way. Furthermore it’s not a race just a FUN run. You can go as much or as little as you want but if you want to be considered an official FINISHER you need to complete the whole route at one time and prove you purchased the items by keeping the receipts and taking a picture of your goodies. We are goodie nerds and get off on that stuff. Please keep the receipts!! Also if you plan on moving slower to have a light and reflective gear for safety for traveling in the dark. That being said the roads are not closed so you need to keep yourself safe because you are on your own. No course marshals no police.
See the Strava link in the comments for the course map that you will need because there will be no course markings.
