Challenging race and good course

I ran the Philadelphia half marathon this past November and I found it to be a slightly difficult and challenging but beautiful course through the city. The spectators were present throughout the course and really helped in terms of motivation and the energy was strong. Overall, a worthwhile race.

This is not a flat course anymore.

Course changes this year added a lot of ups and down to the course after ten miles. Should have been warned when for the first time the race shirt did not have the race course on the back. The course has changed over the years from the fast and flat course of late 1990s to a relatively hilly first half marathon and flat and fast last half the last decade or more. I was running with friends who had never done this race and was telling them what to expect. I spent a lot of time apologizing later. It still has the wonderful mostly gentle downhill over the last 5 so still a fair course and will do it again. Crowd support on the course seemed the best in over a decade and race is very well managed and support was superior. Still a great marathon.

A West Chester Marathoner has trained like a Kenyan for the Philadelphia Race.

Marathon runner Kim Saddic is preparing for this weekend's Philadelphia Marathon by eating food that Kenyan's eat. Ugali is a common dish in Kenya, which Sarric learned about on a training trip to Kenya before taking second place in her first offical race -Philadelphia Marathon in 2000. "I enjoy the sport, I enjoy the people I've met through it. It's part of who I am," Sarric claimed as she prepared the corn meal. And with a height of 5 foot 3 inches, a goal-time of 2:40 this year, her Kenyan-born Philadelphia resident friends agree.
