The event has rock and roll bands and musicians stationed on stages along the multiple race distances, along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The highlight event is the half marathon which takes participants past historical landmarks such as City Hall, the headquarters of the American Philosophical Society and Philadelphia’s Washington Square. Located near the confluence of the Schuykill and Delaware Rivers in southeastern Pennsylvania, just under 100 miles southwest of New York City, Philadelphia typically sees mild to cool weather in September.
