TIAA Philadelphia Marathon Kick-Off Training Run - NEW LOCATION
Advertisement
❗️NEW LOCATION❗️
Calling all runners! Join us as we officially kick off the TIAA Philadelphia Marathon training season with our friends from Philadelphia Runner!
We're excited to offer 3, 6, and 8-mile route options for all paces and distances.
Water will be available at the turnaround points for each distance. The course is out-and-back, so runners will turn around at their designated halfway mark to complete their total mileage.
NOTE: You do not need to be a marathon runner to join us.
Everyone will gather at the Schuylkill Banks Pergola (NEW for 2026) on Martin Luther King Blvd starting at 6:30am to warm up and take a photo. The run will start promptly at 7:00am. We will head out as a group and break off according to distance (3, 6, or 8 miles) and pace.
After the run, stick around at the Schuylkill Banks Pergola for lite bites from our sponsors, giveaways, music, and good vibes until 9:30am!
Parking is available at Lloyd Hall. From there, head toward the Waterworks and take the trail under Spring Garden Street — it will bring you right out to the Schuylkill.
There will not be a gear check.
Can't wait to see you there!
