The Course
Like all marathons sanctioned by USA Track & Field, the Philadelphia Marathon is 26.2 miles. Unlike the others, however, ours is the course of history. Experience our great city, culture and colonial history 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, which was established in 1812, and is considered the first comprehensive municipal water system in the U.S.
The course is fast, with digital splits provided at each mile marker. Fluid stations and spectator overlooks are set up throughout the length of the course.
Bicycles, skateboards, scooters, baby joggers, strollers, headphones, roller skates and roller blades are not permitted on the course, which will remain open for 7 hours.
All marathoners will receive:
- A technical shirt
- A finisher medal
- Post-race refreshments
- A finisher certificate
Awards
The top five male and female finishers in each age group (listed below) will take home awards for their performance.
