The Philadelphia Marathon has grown tremendously since our first race in 1994. What started as a small local event of just 1,500 participants has become one of the top-10 marathons in the country. Our beautiful and scenic course takes athletes past historic landmarks, through urban neighborhoods, and along Philadelphia's picturesque waterfronts. Of course, you can't forget the crowds.

Very well organized & thoughtful event from beginning to the end. There was warming tent, plenty of water/fuel stations. The crowd & energy was crazy, I cannot ask for better support from people I’ve never met. Bag check/pick up was a breeze.
