In addition, prize funds for ALL events: the AACR Philadelphia Marathon, Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon, and the Rothman Orthopaedics 8k have been revamped and boosted for 2022 competitors.

Once again, the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend has an outstanding lineup of Professional Ambassadors who will be cheering on the runners this year. Athletes include professional runners Aliphine Tuliamuk, Jared Ward, Bart Yasso, better known as the Mayor of Running, and Paralympic Athlete Michelle Wheeler.

Ten-time USATF Champion, Aliphine Tuliamuk has an extensive racing resume. Most recently she finished in first place at the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials with a time of 2:27:23 to make her first U.S. Olympic Team. Tuliamuk also helps lead Rising New York Road Runners’ “Active at Home” program which provides free and fun fitness activities for children of all ages and abilities.

American long-distance runner and 2016 Olympian, Jared Ward’s athletic credentials include six-time All-American at Brigham Young University and three-time USA National Champion.

Bart Yasso, the inventor of the Yasso 800s, a marathon-training schedule used by thousands around the world, is one of the few people to have completed races on all seven continents.

The weekend will also feature elite Paralympic Athlete, Michelle Wheeler who will be engaging with runners and competing in all events. Wheeler is a member of the Boston Marathon U.S. Elite Team and participated in the 2019 Marathon World Championships. Wheeler claimed the 2018 Los Angeles Marathon title and has competed in several marathons all over the world, including the Abbott World Marathon Majors.

These four Professional Ambassadors will all be participating in educational talks, meet and greets, and attending the free two-day Health & Fitness Expo on Friday, November 18, and Saturday, November 19.
