Drive Your Mercedes To The Philadelphia Marathon
The fact that you drive a Mercedes says something about you. It says that you care about quality. It also says you've got an eye on the future, and that you look at life as an investment.
Just like you care about your Mercedes, you also care about your health. You know that, every now and again, it's good to park your Mercedes and get in a good run. Why not try something different this year and participate in the Philadelphia Marathon?
One of the most historic foot races in the entire United States, the Philadelphia marathon includes mostly flat terrain. The marathon course passes some of the best loved Philadelphia landmarks, including the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the house of Betsy Ross. The marathon winds through the streets of the old city. It starts at Eakins Oval, at the fitness and sports expo. It ends near the recently-restored Fairmount Water Works.
You can register for the race and pick up running gear at the fitness and sports expo at Eakins Oval.
There's something for everyone to enjoy at the Philadelphia marathon. For children, Verizon sponsors a Kids Fun Run. This non-competitive series of races is designed for children from age 4 to age 12, and is a great way to introduce a child to running.
Even if you’re just watching the race, there’s plenty to see. There are a number of food and music “Express Zones” along the route. At the end of the race, there is plenty to do, too, including enjoying an evening out for a gourmet meal, or just listening to some live music.
This November, drive your Mercedes downtown and participate in, or even just watch, the Philadelphia Marathon.
