This race takes place in Wissahickon Park, a wonderful green oasis within the city limits of Philadelphia. A wonderful course featuring 90% single track trails (for the 13.1, there will be some forbidden drive for the 26.2). As usual, you can expect top notch organization and a well marked course. The best aidstations around will get you through the race, and Uberhans, America's toughest accordion player (former Temple and Seahawks kicker) will be at the Oktoberfest aid station to entertain you. We will also have great swag, a Philly style finisher medal, Philly food vendors, a Philly craft brewery and a cool band at the post race party.
