We did it!

The Philadelphia Distance Run Half Marathon & 5K was officially voted the Best Half Marathon in Pennsylvania for 2026 by Race Raves!

To everyone who voted, ran with us, cheered on Kelly Drive, volunteered, high-fived strangers, rang cowbells, and made race so special year after year: thank you. This one belongs to all of you.

Now let’s make race day 2026 even bigger! Registration is open. See you at the start line 💥 taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @philadelphiadistancerun
