Team Philly is a Local Philadelphia Classic Race. Many runners in the area love this
race event which winds it's way from the Art Museum steps, thru center city, the Zoo,
Memorial Hall, Schuylkill River loop, East Falls, Manyunk, Fairmount Park and finishes
back at Art Museum area in front of thousands of cheering fans. It is truly a historic course
and run every year by local runners.
At the request of the Philadelphia Marathon, Fast Cat Marathon Travel has included a training
team to the Fall schedule and has created Team Philly. Runners who wish to receive
all the great benefits and fun of meeting new friends and training in a team atmosphere
(without the travel of our exotic marathon package) will benefit by joining Team Philly 26.2.
Whether you are a beginner going for the Half Marathon or fulfill a dream by completing the
Philadelphia Marathon, the Fast Cat coaching staff will get you there!
Training
Each participant will receive a 20 week training schedule and the choice to train for the Half
or full marathon along with a customized training schedule to match your fitness level.
Runners will be part of a team guided by experienced coaches who will provide hands-on
training sessions twice per week (weekday and weekend) on the Philadelphia Marathon
course. Weekday session will focus on form and speed development with the weekend
practice focused on endurance development. Runners will also be treated to a number of
clinics presented by local experts on nutrition, injury prevention, flexibility, and many other
topics with the focus on improving every participant's performance. Team Philly 26.2 will
train alongside Team Las Vegas runners on the fall team.
Accommodations
Even though the Philadelphia Marathon is in our back yard, runners on Team Philly 26.2
will receive the same first class treatment and fun which is part of the Fast Cat Marathon
program. Runners who join Team Philly 26.2 will be given the option of the Deluxe or
Local package with the difference being a 2 night hotel stay at a downtown Philadelphia
hotel. Both groups will experience all the other fun team benefits of Team Philly 26.2.
