Mary Where are this year's individual runner's photos?

Joe Singleton I loved this race, I had a great race finished with a time of 1:24:00 will definitely run this next year!!!

Jesse Gustafson My thoughts on the whole changing of the name are like this: the expo will be larger, the rock and roll theme will bring in a lot more people, this will in turn cause the revenue of the city to increase, and the only problem I had was a cop was letting traffic go during the race which held myself and several other peo...ple up; hopefully the rock and roll theme will add a little more rules on the closing of the streets.

Bill Dowis See my comment on the post about the name changing to the Rock and Roll Half Marathon.

Jesse Gustafson Glad to see Philadelphia in the rock and roll series! Had a great time will totally do it again.

I was impressed with the organization and how well this race was put together. I hope that is not lost with the rock an roll branding.

I would also vote to keep the PDR brand. Philly is a unique city and it is nice to have our own things sometimes. The marathon is one of the few still owned by the city it is run in and the largest city owned marathon in the country. Philly is a proud city and we are proud of things like that.

Another complaint of mine is the extreme price hike next year. Early registration this year was $55. Next year it is $80. I paid $80 to run the full marathon in november and now you want me to pay the same price for a half?... See More

All in all this was a nice run. My first half marathon and it was quite memorable. Please do things right next year and dot mess up a good thing. Oh and offer a coupon. Depending on how the year goes I might not be able to fork out $80 for a half marathon.
