Philly Marathon Weekend kicks off with record numbers and a touch of Greek tradition

Philadelphia is gearing up for a big weekend.

"I love the Philly community, that's why I'm running it," said Scott Heigl-Yates, of Downingtown.

Runners for the Philadelphia Marathon packed into the Convention Center on Friday to pick up their race bibs ahead of this weekend's events.

"Just being able to run in such a historic place. Philly's known for that, so I thought it would be a good first," said Crystal Carter, of Atlanta, Georgia. #philadelphia #fyp
