The medal is beautiful every year. However, the finisher shirts are always a little snug (order a size bigger). The race itself is very well organized and leads through Philadelphia’s downtown and other scenic spots. The aid stations are always well stocked and the supporters are friendly. Also the sideline cheering squads are awesome and entertaining!!!
Great SWAG!

This race takes you a little through center city and through Fairmont Park- for the majority of it. There is one road up that takes you to an overpass which is a little steep- but doable.
The medal is cool and the shirt (runs small) but is really nice.
The best scenery for Philly is the Philly half by far! This is a good race though- I have done it for a few years.

Good course. Water stop was in them middle of the biggest hill.
It was fun to run downtown and then the out and back of the course was a nice change. I would recommend this race to others.

Except for one hill, mostly flat course. The race was well organized and the expo was fine. I appreciate that the organizers actually made some attempt to enforce corrals (which were color coded to your bib). Helped reduce the number of walkers in front. The medals were decent and the shirts are comfortable except that I guess I ordered the wrong size and there was no shirt exchange. I was given an email address to see about getting a new shirt but they have responded yet (only 4 days). Hopefully they will. Philly was nicer than I had anticipated (or maybe I just stayed in the right part of town). Was a nice race for marking Pennsylvania off my list of states.
Fun Run
One big hill and that is it. Long sleeve tech shirt was awesome. The expo was big. Organization was great. The medal was big for a half marathon. MORE
