Megan O'Neill's thoughts:

This was my first marathon in my own city! I love Philly races and this one did not disappoint. I have done the half several years but this was my first year doing the full. A good portion of the course is flat but there are some hills mixed in towards the middle and up through Manayunk. Even though you are running uphill the crowds in Manayunk make up for that. Their energy is amazing as they cheer, hand out cups of hydration and beer (😂). The streets are lined with these awesome fans for several miles there.

The end of the race is all flat and ends right in front of the Art Museum steps. The medal is always big and bold and the aid stations set up nicely.

The expo for the race is also really good. Since I live in Philly I take the train but there are plenty of parking lots around if you drive.

All in all great 26.2!
