The registration/communication was always clear, efficient, and well timed. The race swag for the half was good - and I appreciate the race shirt documenting all the historical stops! The security on race day was very easy to navigate and they made sure to have several entry points.

For hotel options- we encountered some challenges with booking a hotel through the race and ended up having to book the hotel on our own, but there are plenty of hotel options to choose from. Getting to/from the race was very easy.

The race course had recently been adjusted to add more historical landmarks -- and it was a great change! You get to experience some very neat portions of Philly across the 13.1 miles and the course is mild in difficulty. There was a significant shortage in bathroom options along the course- so make sure you go before you start! :) The race medal is one of my favorites- with a liberty bell that rings.

Overall, Philly is a gorgeous city with a great history and the race supported and showcased this wonderfully. I would run this one again!
