Philly Love Run

Philly Love Run is held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 28, 2027, with two distances: a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 7K. The course starts and finishes at the foot of the Museum of Art steps made famous on film, after heading out along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and through downtown.

Further out, the route takes in the tree-lined paths of Fairmount Park and crosses the Strawberry Mansion Bridge, with spectators ringing cowbells along the way and a festive finish area featuring local food vendors. As a late-March half marathon it sits well as a spring goal race: build for twelve to sixteen weeks with a weekly long run reaching eleven or twelve miles, and use the 7K instead if your winter training was interrupted. Park paths and bridges mean rolling ground, so run by effort rather than chasing even splits.
