Any veterans out there of the Philly Marathon? I would like to be prepared for the cobblestones. How far of a distance and what point on the course? Thanks

There have been some changes to the course in recent years, but when I last ran it in 1999, the section with cobblestones occured at about mile 7, consisted of a circular intersection of two roads with a statue in the middle, and lasted less than 100 feet.
