14 Great Instagram Photos from This Year’s Rocky 50K

What did you do with your Saturday? Whatever it was, it probably was not as badass as the runners who joined in on the third annual Rocky 50K and pounded the pavement for a whopping 31 miles (Yes, thirty-one miles) around Philly, taking on the same route Rocky ran in Rocky II. I mean, no offense, but running 31 miles dressed in a full-on Rocky get-up totally beats doing laundry and watching all of season three of Gilmore Girls when it comes to the badass scale, you know? (That may or may not be exactly how I spent my Saturday. Plus pizza.)

Below, 14 of our favorite photos from the run, including one lovely selfie of someone stuffing their face with pizza at mile 30. Because sometimes, whether you’re watching Gilmore Girls or running the longest run of your life, you just need a pizza break, are we right?

Sooo many Rockys out this morning!! Have you seen one run by yet? Keep it up runners & CONGRATS @htp32 on hauling 600+ lbs of shoes across multiple state lines to donate this morning #rocky50k #run215 #ultra #runphilly #fatassrun #runforit #bomfphilly #ultrarunning

Yo Adrian! Hangin’ w/ Rocky… Had a blast running the Rocky 50K with my amazing friend Kristen! #rocky50k #Philly #whyilovephilly #RunUltras #latergram A photo posted by Sophorn (@phornchoup) on Dec 6, 2015 at 4:14pm PST

I organize a silly little run because it seemed like a fun idea (thanks to @danmcquade). After the first year’s run, a woman found out she had run it a few weeks pregnant. She named her sweet boy Rocky and I finally got to meet him. I can’t think of anything that will top this. #rocky50k #run215 #runchat #ultrachat
