Run Fest - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Running

The Run Fest is a Running race in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania consisting of a Half Marathon.

Philadelphia's Run Fest is a celebration of your running experience with three Races, Yoga, Live Music, and the City's greatest post-race festival.

The half marathon is Philly's most scenic course! Step to the line in front of Memorial Hall. You will run through the Smith Memorial, past Concourse Lake and the Mann Music Center, before touring through the Horticultural Center and past the Japanese Teahouse.

Run along the Schuylkill and across the Strawberry Mansion Bridge to enter East Fairmount Park with its mansions, lakes and ball fields. Hang a right at General Grant as you head up Kelly Drive with the majestic Laurel Hill Cemetery above and the Schuylkill River below.

When you cross the Falls Bridge, you are on the home stretch. Shady lawns, statues, and stables line the road as you finish with a party on the river. After you grab your water and banana, the party is just getting started. Head into the finish line festival for the beer garden, free massages, food trucks, yoga sessions, live music, lawn games, selfie stations, and unique contests. The Run Fest really begins after the finish line!
