Philadelphia Marathon Weekend

Whether you’re an athlete or just a spectator, Philly’s neighborhoods come alive for marathon weekend as several thousand runners weave their way around the city’s iconic landmarks. Get your sign ready—the more clever the better—or be ready with a high-five as runners make their way through Old City, South Philly, University City, Manayunk, and Fairmount Park before ending on the Rocky Steps. The weekend’s festivities include an 8K race, a half-marathon, a children’s run, and a health and fitness expo.
