2023 Brand Ambassador Program

We are so excited to announce our 5th Annual Philadelphia Marathon Weekend Ambassador Program! We started this program in 2018 to help us reach running communities throughout the USA and the world to spread awareness about the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend and reach audiences who may look different, have differing backgrounds, speak another language, and have varying ability levels; but all share the same love for running and have a unique story to tell.

Our Ambassadors have qualified for the program through their diverse geographic location, activity level, and follower count on social media. They post every week about their involvement with the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend to share their passion for running (especially running Philly!) with their followers. Ambassadors receive perks like training gear, Philadelphia Marathon Weekend SWAG, access to special events during race weekend, and more!

Criteria:

  • Must have 3,000+ followers on at least one social media platform (Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook) 
  • Social media profile(s) must be public and personal (can be a personal brand, but no business or group profiles)
  • Must be registered for the Marathon, Half Marathon, or Challenge (8K and 13.1, or 8K and 26.2 or 13.1 and 26.2 or 8K, 13.1 and 26.2 or 13.1 and 26.2) by July 1st.
  • Must be willing to engage on social media on a weekly basis from June through November.
  • Must be willing to share contests, promotions, and announcements upon request (not more than twice per week).
  • Must familiarize yourself with the marathon website and social platforms to help answer questions if asked of your audience (of course we are here to help).
  • Must be able to use Google Docs and Google Drive to provide proof of posting and adhere to posting guidelines.
