  • Comments: PHENOMENAL volunteers. Plenty of them and they were great. Lots of drink stations. A COMPLETELY different experience from my first Marathon which had only 263 finishers. It was a lot of fun to run a marathon with thousands of other people.

  • Comments: Philly did a fabulous job with this race. They really took the feedback from last year and made positive changes. There were lots of water stations. Plenty of food at the end. The volunteers were wonderful. Great organization. Terrific race. Even the weather held up until we finished. (Thanks to the Man above!) The full rain started as soon as we got to the car! How about that for timing?!!!
