Channel your inner Rocky as you run by many of the famous sites featured in the movie—including, of course, the iconic steps at the Philadelphia Art Museum, in view of where the race starts and finishes. The first half of the course winds through the city’s historic colonial downtown, before turning off on an extended out-and-back along the Schuylkill River. At mile 19 you’ll enter the small neighborhood of Manayunk—don’t be surprised if revelers at the bars lining the street offer beer to help power you through the final stretch back to the city.
