The Phillie Phanatic looks on as the players are introduced prior to the home opener.
You can now sign up for the ninth annual Phillies Charities 5K, which will take place Saturday, March 23.
Race participants begin and end the 3.1-mile run at Citizens Bank Park. After crossing the finish line, runners are invited to take a victory lap on the field.
On the course, look for the Phanatic, Phillies alumni and Phillies ballgirls.
The Phillies Charities 5K entry fee is $50, with net proceeds benefitting Phillies Charities, Inc.
Participants will also receive a voucher for four Phillies tickets, a long sleeve shirt, finishers medal and a coupon for a 20-percent discount at the New Era Phillies Store.
The top overall male and female finishers will receive a baseball bat autographed by a Phillies player and will be recognized on the field prior to a Phillies home game. Winners in the various age categories will receive a baseball autographed by a Phillies player.
If you're thinking of running in the spring 5K, don't wait to sign up. Each year the race sells out.
Saturday, March 23
