To Do: Philadelphia Marathon Health and Fitness Expo

This weekend, the Pennsylvania Convention Center will host the Philadelphia Marathon’s Health and Fitness Expo. And here’s the thing: You don’t have to actually participate in the race to go to the expo; new and experienced runners, as well as Philadelphia Marathon participants, of course, will have the chance to explore more than 80 vendors showcasing the newest running apparel, shoes and accessories, scoop up product samples, and glean tips on health and fitness. You can also purchase official 2012 Philadelphia Marathon merchandise, learn from informative seminars and check out completely new products in the worlds of running, fitness and nutrition. Bonus: You’ll be able to get a Fan Pass for discounts at area restaurants and retailers that will last throughout race weekend. More info is here.

FREE, November 16th from noon to 9 p.m., November 17th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Pennsylvania Convention Center, Hall A, 12th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia.
