PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Numerous SEPTA routes will be disrupted and detoured due to this weekend's Broad Street Run.

Additionally, SEPTA is offering the special northbound subway service free to registered runners if they display their official race bib with their competitor number.
Extra Broad Street Line service will also be added for Sunday's Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. Four Express trips will run every 10 minutes during the hour leading up to the first pitch at 2:35 p.m.
Detours are expected to begin at 8 a.m. Sunday, and riders should allow additional time in case of delays.
