Philadelphia Marathon Weekend
The Philadelphia Marathon Weekend takes place over three days in November, offering several running events for different participants. The activities begin at the Philadelphia Convention Center with a race expo and packet pickup starting on Friday. This location continues to host the expo through Saturday.
The weekend features a variety of distances held on different days:
- Philadelphia Marathon
- Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon
- Rothman Orthopaedics 8K
- Nemours Children's Health Philadelphia Kid's Run
The courses are located at 2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy in Philadelphia and are designed to be scenic and fan-friendly. The half marathon and 8K take place on Saturday, while the full marathon and the kid's run are held on Sunday.
Professional athletes may participate in the weekend events by invitation only. Other participants can obtain entry through general registration or the official charity program, which supports multiple organizations such as the American Association for Cancer Research and the American Cancer Society. International participants ordering in-training gear must collect their items at the expo, though shipping is available to Canada for an additional fee.
