To people who registered for multiple events:

Registering for two or more events does not automatically enter you into a challenge (Patriot, Independence, Liberty Bell or Freedom).

To participate in a Philadelphia Marathon Weekend challenge, you must have been registered for a challenge and confirmed by July 17, 2026. Anyone not confirmed by that date will not be scored as a challenge participant, even if they are running two or more events.

In-training gear: There is a $15 shipping and handling charge for in-training gear to Canada. All other international in-training orders must be picked up at the Expo.

If you are ordering merchandise or gear, please ensure your shipping address field includes apartment or condo numbers. We cannot ship to incomplete addresses.
