The Philadelphia Marathon is this weekend and for the first time since 1994, all three races are sold out! We can't wait to see 37,000 participants (the largest anticipated attendance in race history) in shirts designed by our Art Director Christopher Rossi. The designs highlight the Philly neighborhoods and landmarks unique to each race course, in the shape of the iconic Liberty Bell. Good luck marathoners! ???? #PhillyMarathon
