Race Reports for Philadelphia Marathon 2006

[1]

Race rating (2)

Comments: I gave this race a 2 since it just lacked organization. From the race number pickup, to the way the bags were handled. The course was nice. But the organization sucked. First of all, they had the expo and the number pickup in the same tent. So, you had to go all the way to the back of the tent through the people shopping at the expo to get your number. It just was not very organized, and the whole place smelled like hot dogs. Bag check or lack thereof. Apparently the trucks got shooed away by the police so instead of dropping off the bags in trucks, they just got dropped off on the side of the road. For lack of time, I couldnt drop it in the tent which was another mess. Lucky I didn't use the Philadelphia Marathon bag, but my own bright red bookbag. So I found my bag inside the tent in a random pile. No number check or anything. The race course was great. Volunteers and support were excellent. Everything before and after the race was mediocre at best.
