Registration Begins for Philly Marathon

Runners rejoice! Registration for the Philadelphia Marathon weekend has begun.

Runners can now register for the full marathon, half marathon and the Rothman Institute 8K.

Organizers say the first 1,000 people who register will receive a price break when signing up for any of the events.

“The GORE-TEX® Philadelphia Marathon is better than ever, from the start of registration this month to the starting line on November 23 on the Ben Franklin Parkway,” said Desiree Peterkin-Bell, the race’s Executive Director. “Whether you are a participant or a spectator, the marathon appeals to everyone’s interests and talents. Last year, we enjoyed the largest total registration in Philadelphia Marathon history, attracting over 30,000 participants (across three races) from all 50 states and more than 40 countries. We’re building on that success this year and look forward to working with our sponsor, the GORE-TEX® Brand, as we continue to grow as a premier marathon.”

The marathon, in its 21st year, features a 26.2-mile course starting and finishing along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

The Rothman Institute 8K will take place on Saturday, November 22 while the marathon and half marathon will take place on Sunday, November 23.

Before the races, marathon-related events will open on Friday, November 21, including a Health & Fitness Expo the Kids Fun Run, a short-distance, non-competitive run for children, ages 6 to 12. Registration for the kids run will also begin on April 1.
