  • Comments: No doubt about it - I'm hooked on this race. Fourth year running it and I'm impressed each time with the way that Philadelphia goes all out to hold this race. Even got three new runners from the PD to run it this year. SO comical watching their faces when they're passing the drunks and prostitutes out there onthe sidewalks cheering for you. Gotta make it five in a row!

  • Comments: Good race, but this course can't really handle it. I honestly think that I could have shaved off close to 2 minutes off my time, if I didn't have to pass so many people, or if I had lined up near the 7min mile pace line.

  • Comments: It's Broad St., what can I say? It's a huge race, lots of help, lots of runners. The start is tough; very crowded and I ended up on the sidewalk for most of the first three miles. But that was no biggie. Having the hydrants spraying water as you went by was a nice touch. The post-race stuff was decent: water, Gatorade, yogurt and a goodie bag. One complaint: Get a better t-shirt!!!! Stupid cotton. Huge race like this, and they can't spring for something decent....mumble mumble....

  • Comments: It was a fun day. TONS of people running. The water stations seemed OK but I didn't stop at any since I had my 6-bottle fuel belt and gel flask. Fans were sparse for a while until we made it to Center City and at the finish,
