Earlier this month, the unseasonably warm weather in the Big Apple presented a challenge for runners in the New York Marathon.

That wasn't an issue in Philadelphia. Sunday's forecast called for a high of 36 degrees with winds of up to 30 mph. The weather was so cold even the clock at the finish line was unable to make it through the day.

Per CBS Philadelphia's Wakisha Bailey, 11,000 runners entered the Philadelphia Marathon this year. The event is one of the qualifiers for the Boston Marathon.

The course started along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and headed east toward the Delaware River before turning back toward downtown. Along the 26.2-mile journey, runners passed a number of landmarks including the University of Pennsylvania, Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Art Museum.

There are certainly easier ways to explore the City of Brotherly Love.
