Philadelphia Rock n Roll Half Marathon Coming Up

Posted in New York, Philadelphia, Uncategorized at 9:24 pm by Administrator

The Philadelphia Distance Run, arguably Philadelphia’s most prestigious annual running event, has this year morphed into the Philadelphia Rock n Roll Half Marathon. Not much has changed from past years, except for the addition of a little pizzazz and general fun. The race is on Sunday, September 19, starting and finishing near the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Nola and I are both entered to run the race. We shall also be at the Expo at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Friday and Saturday, September 17-18. We shall be autographing books there for all-comers, and the event is open to the public at no charge. We hope to meet many of our running colleagues and readers there.
The bad news is that the race is already full so it is too late to register now. However, all information you might need about the event is at: http://philadelphia.competitor.com
