Philadelphia Marathon Weekend

November 21-23, 2025

The 26.2 mile AACR Philadelphia Marathon is now sold out, but a waitlist is available for signup (there is no guarantee you will be accepted for the 2025 AACR Philadelphia Marathon). A credit card will be required to secure your place on the waitlist, but you will not be charged until a slot is available. (sign up for the waitlist)

For guaranteed entry (while bibs are available) you may run for AACR Runners For Research or see one of the official charity partners who may have bibs available for fundraisers. Contact them directly to learn more about guaranteed entry through their respective fundraising programs.

Finally, a limited supply of Independence, Liberty Bell or Freedom challenges are available should you wish to register for a multi-event package.

Note: We do not allow the transfer of bibs between individuals – any offer to sell you a bib is not valid.
