Comfortable temps, warming through the race
Starting at 64°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 78°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Half Marathon is one lap of a 13.1-mile lollipop course along Pennypack Creek in Pennypack Park in Philadelphia, about 80 percent paved bike path and 20 percent trail. The midsection has short, steep rolling hills and a trail stretch called Mount Cuckoo, and runners nicknamed the course the Achterbahn, the German word for roller coaster. The course is mostly shaded and free of road traffic, and the race starts and finishes at the Ed Kelly Amphitheater, where the German-themed post-race party is held.
