Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a first-timer, Philadelphia is the place for you. We've designed our course to be scenic, fan-friendly and, above all, great for running. It’s no wonder we're consistently listed among the top ten races in the country, recognized for our mostly flat terrain, ideal temperature and awesome atmosphere.

Don't forget! Our second training run is in three weeks!

Join us as we officially kick off the Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon 13.1 Training season with our friends at Philadelphia Runner on Saturday, September 26 at 6:30 AM.

Meet at the bottom of the Philadelphia Museum of Art Steps at 6:30 am to warm up, then we head out as a group at 7:00 am. You'll break off by distance (3, 6, 8, 10, or 14 miles) and pace so everyone runs their own race.

Feature Friday: Odessa Kellman
Meet Odessa (she/her)! Odessa is an ambassador from Philadelphia, PA, taking on the TIAA Philadelphia Marathon. 🔥
As a local wellness founder, Odessa uses running as her ultimate tool for resilience. 🧠
In her own words: "My first Philly Half was a liberating experience of pushing boundaries, and doing it back-to-back taught me I'm capable of anything. Training carried me through heavy life hardships, breaking mental barriers that could have crippled me. I'm running to prove that what once felt impossible becomes reality, one step at a time."

Still on the fence? You've got time to train for this one.

The Rothman Orthopaedics 8K is one of the most trainable distances on the race calendar. The commitment is manageable in terms of miles and hours you need to put in before the start line.

BUT, don't let that fool you. This race will test you. Short, fast, and everything you've got. Whether you're chasing a PR or just ready to see what you're made of, 4.97 miles hits different when you're leaving it all on the course🔥

Register now. November 21 is closer than you think!
