Pennsylvania Running: Historic Cities and Wild Trails
Pennsylvania’s running calendar is a study in contrasts, offering major city marathons with historical significance, alongside rugged ultra-challenges in the Appalachian Mountains. The state is anchored by two massive, world-class city events. The Philadelphia Marathon is consistently ranked among the top ten marathons in the U.S., known for its flat, fast course that begins and ends at the iconic Art Museum steps. The route is a historical showcase, weaving runners through the city’s historic district, past landmarks like Independence Hall, before heading out along the scenic Schuylkill River.
The Broad Street Run and Pittsburgh’s Challenge
In Philadelphia, the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run is the largest 10-mile road race in the country, attracting over 40,000 participants. The point-to-point course runs straight down Broad Street, offering a slightly downhill, fast course that is famed for its massive scale and community support.
Further west, the Pittsburgh Marathon weekend is another major highlight, offering a full, half, and relay option. This event is known for its challenging but unique course that crosses several of Pittsburgh’s distinctive bridges and takes runners through diverse, vibrant neighborhoods. For those who seek genuine wilderness, Pennsylvania also boasts incredible trail races like the Pine Creek Challenge, which features ultra-distances along the Pine Creek Rail Trail in the "Grand Canyon of the East," offering a truly demanding and beautiful endurance test away from the city pavement.
