Like all marathons sanctioned by USA Track & Field, the Philadelphia Marathon is 26.2 miles. What sets us apart is that every inch of our course is steeped in the history and culture of one of America’s great cities. Philadelphia truly is a city of neighborhoods, and runn...ers will experience many of them—from the hip to the historic. Run past the hip shops and boutiques in University City and Manayunk. Experience our Revolutionary heritage at Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and the Liberty Bell. Keep in step along the waterfront, showcasing Penn’s Landing on the banks of the Delaware River and the Fairmount Water Works on the Schuylkill River, a Greek-inspired masterpiece of early 1800’s industrial engineering and architecture. The course is fast, with digital splits provided at each mile marker. Fluid stations are set up throughout the length of the course—as are spectator overlooks. 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 a champion. read more
