Philadelphia

Also known as the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia has claimed the title of fifth largest city in America. Philadelphia is the birth place of American history. The original thirteen colonies were centered on this city because it was the second biggest city in the British Empire next to London. The American Revolution began here and was the original capital of the United States. Benjamin Franklin, a native Philadelphian, was also of great importance to the rise of liberty and freedom in America.

This great American city is perfect for the adventurous tourists. One can learn about our country’s history at Independence Hall and see the Liberty Bell and then take off to the streets of The Gallery for some shopping. Sports fans are also welcome here because Philadelphia has an array of teams coving most of America’s favorite sports. From cheesestakes to baseball, and history to brotherly love, Philadelphia has a lot to offer!

Chris Reed Favorite Local Race (Why is it your favorite?)

"Broad Street Run- an excellent 10 mile point to point course that is flat and fast. The only turn is around City Hall. The mayor is involved and the finish is great in Naval Yard!" - Chris Reed
