Philadelphia Marathon Weekend: Let's check out some art along the way!

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Hope you are all well!

Did you know that there’s art in this building? 🤣

“I’ve been running up and down these steps for 20 years and never knew there was valuable picture’s in this building” Sylvester Stalone as Rocky, in Rocky V, regarding the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Philadelphia Marathon Weekend has plenty of sightseeing to do over the weekend. We’ll be passing by plenty of it.

Of course, if you want to do the famous “Rocky Steps” up to the museum, we’ll be right by them. The start/finish area is right in front of the museum, we’ll see the museum in passing during the races, and it’s only 1.4 miles from the expo if you want to do the steps on a non race day.. And of course, be sure to stop by to see Rocky (to the right side of the museum).

Info if you would like to enter the museum to check out some of the art: https://philamuseum.org/

We will also see plenty of art along the courses as well. Did you know that Philly is the ‘Mural Capitol of the World”? Over 4000 works of public art!

There is also a newer mural dedicated to runners! Manayunk is one of my favorite parts of the course as there is a huge party to lift you up as I usually hit the wall. The mural dedicated to runners was revealed in 2019. I have seen this beautiful piece in passing and can’t wait to get a pic by it someday!
