This is the race where I caught the run bug. I signed up to run the 2020 full marathon the week after crossing this half marathon's finish line (although those plans have been modified a bit due to covid....). I loved every single second of running this half marathon. I felt truly supported by the crowd every step of the race. The scenery is a healthy mix of downtown Philadelphia and beautiful nature through Kelly Drive. Overall, this race is a blast and a must run for anyone looking to take a scenic trip through Philadelphia!
