New user 13 Downingtown |  Subject: Philly Half-Marathon is Sold Out...Suggestions?I was hoping to spend some time working on my running over the next couple months. I thought I'd use Philly as motivation, but it is sold out. Any suggestions as to how I might go about finding someone who is looking to sell their registration? |

Another option would be another half in the area. I think the Lehigh Valley half was last weekend (9/13), but the Lancaster half is coming up on 10/3. The other plus to the non-Philly races is a smaller crowd, more scenic course, and lower race fee. |

Expert 670 Bucks County | Subject: how about doing the 8k still a good race but not so crowded. I am entered in the race but recently incurred an injury and will be unable to compete. Can I defer my participation to next year? No. We do not offer deferments or refunds. http://www.philadelphiamarathon.com/page/race-faqs not sure but think they check id's at registration |

| New user 13 Downingtown | Subject: RE: Philly Half-Marathon is Sold Out...Suggestions? Thanks for the info. After seeing a variety of requests for buying race registrations I thought it was acceptable. I found a race in November. Not a 1/2 Mary, but 15K. They call it the "Dirty Bird". Its the Sunday after Thanksgiving at French Creek State Park. Anyone run this one? |

Veteran 204 | Subject: RE: Philly Half-Marathon is Sold Out...Suggestions? As of last week, at least, there were still charity entries available. There is a page on the Phila marathon web page that gives links to their associated charity web sites where you can read about the different programs. I think most are in the fundraising range of $1,500, but Best Buddies is only asking for a minimum fundraising commitment of $450 (if you commit before 10/1). If you donate what you would have spent on the race signing up in September, you are almost 1/4 of the way to the goal! |
