Everyone talks about it being such a fun run. The fact that its on broad street. How does that make it special . Its so unique because the straight shot all the way down. The only turn we have is right around city hall. And for running ten miles, broad street is the longest straight street in the city. And for them to use 10 out of the 12 1 2 miles of broad street to participate on it thats what makes it so unique and the fact theyre running through all the neighborhoods. You see the full flavor of philadelphia as you go through this race course and the runners have a ball with it.
