Revision as of 21:11, 16 April 2016

The Philadelphia Marathon gives the following descriptive information:

Since our first race in 1994, we have grown from a small local event to one of the top-10 marathons in the country.

See the Marathon Web Site for A Schedule of Activities
Our beautiful and scenic course takes runners past historic landmarks like Independence Hall, Benjamin Franklin's Burial Place, the National Constitution Center and the Liberty Bell, through urban neighborhoods such as Old City, University City, South Philadelphia and Manayunk, and along the picturesque waterfronts of the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers.

And you'd better get ready for the crowds. Each year, spectators line the course, eager to cheer on runners, because there's nothing we love more in this town than champions.
