Expo: The expo was at the convention center - lots of booths, anything you wanted you could find.

Swag: You got a nice tech shirt (but it was not gender specific) and a coffee mug (which was a nice addition)

Race course:
It starts/finishes in front of the Art Museum and the famous steps! The race runs through downtown Philadelphia for a bit before running out along the Schyulkill River up a hill (that was the only hill) past the Please Touch Museum, and back towards the start line. The course was flat overall. I had taken a trolley tour of all the famous sights in Philly the day so it was nice to run past them during the race.

Logistics:
It was in walking distance from many hotels. Since I didn't drive, I can't comment about parking.
After the race, there was a hot chocolate fountain and they gave you a bag filled with goodies. It was nice not to have to wait online to get food.

Conclusion:

I loved this race (and would have loved it more if it didn't rain). I would recommend it for a first time visitor to the city.
