Why attend here

Running through Philadelphia in late November means crisp air and fewer crowds along the historic streets, letting you soak in the Liberty Bell's legacy and the Old City's cobblestones at your own pace. After the race, warm up with a classic cheesesteak or a bowl of rich, tomatoey snapper soup, and don't miss the chance to climb the Art Museum steps for that iconic Rocky moment—the city's food and landmarks are as storied as the course itself.

Course

Starting on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, it tours Old City, the historic district, and University City through the first half, then settles onto a long, river-flat out-and-back along Kelly Drive and the Schuylkill to Manayunk before finishing at the iconic Art Museum 'Rocky' steps.
