Visited this weekend for the first time from the Boston area to run the half marathon in Philly. My wife ran the full marathon. We had a great time & enjoyed the city very much. The race itself was very well organized & the crowds were great. On our list of races already for next year & will take a few more days to see more of the city.

You guys were lucky, that was a freakishly warm day. I can't believe I was out in shorts and a t-shirt.

Great . The Marathon usually gets outstanding reviews especially from experienced marathoners.

The weather definitely helped. We love traveling to races & a few have been very disorganized. We also love urban running as that is what we do at home. The stretch of Chestnut street all the a way into University City was packed with people cheering.

Great! Hope you visit again! Philly is not as polished as Boston but it's a great city and many areas are very up and coming. Glad you enjoyed your time here
