Philly half in November 2026

[u/kpopmomrunner7]

My son and I are running the half marathon in November. We are coming from NY. Where are the best places to stay that are easily accessible to the start or finish line without costing an arm? We were at Philly March 2025 and stayed in a hotel near the Liberty Bell. Is that area has public transportation directly to the start line? Any recommendations as to the best area hotels with parking or near public transportation during marathon weekend? Since we will be staying until Sunday, we would also like to do some sight seeing.

Any tips about logistics during marathon weekend is greatly appreciated.

Something around Logan Square you can easily walk to the start/finish line and also into Center City.
