RACE DAY PREP & INFO H H H
Visit the start area. If you are driving, you’ll want to map your route and select a parking location in advance to familiarize yourself with the security area and start/ finish line entrances. The 22nd and 23rd Street entrances from Route 676 will be closed, so please plan an alternate route. If you are staying at a hotel in Center City, do a test walk from the hotel to the start line. Review your corral placement. Participants will be started in waves by letter corrals (map on page 18) to reduce any bottlenecks. Your wave corral will be walked to the start line, and once the horn for your letter sounds, you can take off! Please bring any corral placement issues to the Solution Center at the Health & Fitness Expo. Review the security procedures. Only clear bags will be allowed in the secure zone — this applies to athletes and spectators. Dress for success. If you plan on wearing a “throwaway” shirt, toss it into the receptacles marked for clothing to the left of the corrals. All discarded clothing will be donated to the Salvation Army. If you bring extra clothing, pack it in your athlete’s bag and check it into the UPS gear check trucks in Eakins Oval. Drop your bags at gear check. Gear check is provided free of charge located on the southside of Eakins Oval. Only clear bags (such as the runner bag we are providing) will be accepted. You are free to use any of the trucks at gear check (but be sure to write down the truck number on the back of your bib). Be sure to affixed the event-issued gear check tag (top of bib tear-off strip) to your bag. Also be sure to enclose complete contact information inside your race bag in case we need to contact you on where you can pick up your bag after race weekend. The Philadelphia Marathon Weekend is not responsible for any unclaimed, stolen, or lost items.
