The Philadelphia Marathon returns to the city on Sunday, November 22nd, bringing thousands of runners, supporters, and spectators together for an exciting weekend in Philadelphia! The beautiful and scenic course takes runners past some of the city’s most iconic sights, from Fairmount Park to the Schuylkill River Trail. 
Manayunk plays a special role in the Philadelphia Marathon, too! Around Mile 19, the neighborhood comes alive as thousands of spectators line Main Street, holding signs, clapping, and cheering on every runner who passes by. With music playing, crowds cheering, and nonstop excitement, the energy is truly electric! We already got a glimpse of Manayunk’s incredible community spirit during this year’s Philly Cycling Classic in August, and we expect nothing less for Marathon Weekend. 
Manayunk is truly one of the most memorable and motivating spots along the course. Whether you’re running the 26.2 miles, supporting someone special, or simply coming out to cheer on the athletes, there’s no better place to soak up the Marathon Weekend excitement than right here in Manayunk!
And once the race-day excitement winds down, keep the celebration going on Main Street! Head to your favorite local restaurants, bars, and shops to enjoy special food and drink deals offered throughout the neighborhood. Whether you conquered all 26.2 miles or spent the day cheering from the sidelines, you’ve earned a little race-day treat!
