The Patriot Challenge
Are you up for a day-long challenge?
Bring an extra pair of running shoes because you will be running a double race on Saturday. Start with the Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon early Saturday morning, and keep it rolling in the Rothman Orthopaedics 8K.
This challenge is for those that want to see the stuff they’re made of. If you finish both races, you will earn bragging rights and the hard-earned Patriot Challenge Medal.
Please note that you must finish the half marathon no later than 10:45 a.m.
The Philadelphia Marathon Weekend Events are USATF sanctioned and course-certified.
Due to safety concerns, handcrank bikes are not permitted at any Philadelphia Marathon Weekend events.
