Philadelphia Marathon 2017: Route, Map, Times, Road Closures, Race Details

The Philadelphia Eagles are back in action this weekend after a bye week, but that doesn't mean the city isn't already buzzing as the 2017 Philadelphia Marathon takes place this Sunday, with the half-marathon, the Rothman 8k and the Kids Fun Run happening the day before on Saturday.

The wheelchair and handcycle division kicks things off at 6:55 a.m., with runners and walkers following suit shortly afterward at 7 a.m.

If it's not broke, don't fix it. And that's the motto behind the marathon's route this year which will be the same as it was in 2016, starting at the top of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway toward City Hall.

The official Twitter account of the Philadelphia Marathon tweeted out a picture of the course map below:

Contrary to popular belief, marathons aren't just for the runners. Many fans and onlookers enjoy the experience of watching others race and cheering them on to finish the 26.2 mile trek.

In a city known for its passionate sports fans, cheer zones will be made along the route for anyone to cheer on a family member, friend or a perfect stranger during the race.

For more information on the marathon's cheer zones, you can find that here. 

If you're struggling to get around the city because of the marathon and can't drive with certain streets blocked off, SEPTA provided a full list of all the trolley and bus routes that will be detoured during the weekend which can be found here.
