You didn’t think we’d forget, did you? The Philly’s biggest fall running weekend is here with events happening beginning tomorrow at the race’s Health and Fitness Expo at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Yes, that’s where runners will go to get their bibs and race packets, but there’s stuff do even if you’re not running on Sunday, including seminars with running experts, vendor booths with deals on gear, and free samples. The Expo runs from noon to 9 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday. (Heads up: We’ll have our picks for what not to miss at the Expo in a post tomorrow, so stay tuned.) Running-wise, the Rothman 8K happens on Saturday and the half and full marathons on Sunday. Check out our coverage for more.
