2010 Philadelphia Marathon Race Results

The 2010 edition of the Philadelphia Marathon took place Sunday, November 21st, and results have been posted. The official race website has been down all of Sunday morning, probably due to heavy traffic from people checking runners' times and results, but you can get Philadelphia Marathon race results at Active.com's page, which is up and operational.

At this results page you can find time for all three races held this weekend: the Philadelphia Marathon, the Philadelphia Half Marathon, and the Rothman Institute 8K. You can also find race results for previous years' races, going all the way back to 2002. And you can track runners who are currently still out on the course.

So far (Sunday at Noon, Eastern time) I haven't been able to access any page at the Philadelphia Marathon's website, www.PhiladelphiaMarathon.com.

 The 2010 ING New York City Marathon takes place in the five boroughs of the City on Sunday, November 7th, though an incredible array of different neighborhoods and terrains. Whether you're a runner or a spectator, the New York Road Runners Club (the Marathon's sponsor) has New York Marathon course maps to help you find your way.

If you're a runner, check the NYRR's course info page first. There will be about 40,000 runners starting in several color-coded waves, and this page tells how to determine your correct time and distance for the first eight miles, since runners in different waves will have varying times.
