I am thinking about signing up for my 2nd ever Half --- my first is the Indy Mini in May. And I came across the Philly Distance Run in September. From the vast collective experience of all the racers here, is this a fun race? Will it be expected to fill up? I like the sound of it because its a flat course and not really too terribly far from me (Illinois). I think Philly would be a fun city to visit, too. My husband, who is definately not a runner, could see the sites.

I don't remember the race filling, but it is a nice, flat course, lots of support the last 4 miles, and a fun race in general.

I live outside Philadelphia, and I've run the race twice. Great course (flat, fast, scenic), weather is beautiful that time of year, and Philly is always a fun town to visit. Slimbo said it - the restaurant scene is awesome, and getting better. Fun race - do it, do it, do it.
