When will the half marathon will begin at Eakins Oval in Philadelphia?”
This sounds like a lot of fun and less strenuous than a full marathon. I especially like the idea of the finish line party. It would be a great way to spend a Sunday with family and friends. http://www.philadelphiamarathon.com/images/content/half-map.gif http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/2050809476_cd52d70fdb.jpg A True American Classic The ING Philadelphia Distance Run has been the premier half marathon in the U.S. for 30 years.
