In Philadelphia, we redefine the experience of what a marathon should be. A beautiful, fast and scenic course, an engaging atmosphere—it’s no wonder we're consistently listed among the top ten marathons in the country, recognized for our flat terrain, mellow weather and spirited fans.

Expect beautiful views through Fairmount Park and along the Schuylkill River and neighborhood residents cheering in University City and Manayunk. Weave through the well-traveled streets of our historic district, passing sights familiar to Franklin, Washington and the rest of the gang, and end your race speeding towards the steps of the majestic Art Museum.

Digital splits are provided at the 5K, 10K, 13.1 mile and 30K marks along the course, and fluid stations and spectator overlooks are set up throughout the course.

(2022)Twenty-two-year-old Yalemzerf Yehualew opened her 2022 season in spectacular style by claiming a repeat victory at today's rescheduled 2021 TotalEnergies Great Ethiopian Run 10km.

Her winning time of 31 minutes and 16 seconds was thirty-one seconds faster than her winning time two years ago, as she came home a clear winner ahead of Girmawit Gebregziabiher. In third place was the 17-year old 2021 World Junior 5000m silver medallist Melkanat Wudu, making her first appearance in the international 10km.

The men's race turned into a much closer race, with 6 athletes still together as they came into the final 500 meters. Gemechu Dida took a surprise victory over former Dubai Marathon champion Getaneh Molla, with less than a second separating the first three athletes. Boki Diriba finished 3rd. Dida's winning time was 28 minutes and 23 seconds.

Yalemzerf came into the race eager to impress after having to withdraw from the Valencia 10km just two weeks ago. At Friday's press conference she spoke about her aim of reclaiming the world half-marathon record from compatriot Letesenbet Giday.

Today she ran a clever race, making her break from long-time leader Girmawit just past the 7.5km mark after cresting the hill near the National Palace. At the 9km turn at Urael Church Yalemzerf accelerated dramatically and easily pulled clear of her rival, and looked fresh and relaxed as she cruised into the finish with a winning margin of 12 seconds.

In the men's race, the highest placed non-Ethiopian athlete was Cornelius Kibet Kemboi who finished in 6th place in a time of 28 minutes and 38 seconds. Rodgers Kibet from Uganda was 11th, Shadrack Kipngetich from Kenya was 16th and Samson Amare from Eritrea was 18th.

Both men's and women's winners took home cash prizes of 100,000 birr (just over USD $2,000).

A total of 17,600 finished the race. The mass race which started less than ten minutes after the start of the elite races.

Italica is one of the most important Roman sites in Spain. It has its origin with Publius Cornelius Scipio by the year 206 BC, after the triumph of Rome over Carthage in Ilipa. It is the birthplace of important personalities, specifically in Italica were born the emperors Trajan and Adriano and many senators of the time. It was then a city of proven importance, especially since the time of Augustus. Hence the importance of its theater and amphitheater, the third largest in the empire after the Roman Colosseum and the anti-theater of Padua. It had luxury mansions whose remains are preserved. Its decadence arrived with the dynasty of the Antoninos and it was accentuated in times of Severe Septimio, diminishing the size of the city. It is a place with a lot of history around which the Cross Italica 2018 revolves.

It is expected in total more than 3,000 participants who will further enhance a field through as the Cross of Itálica that has more than 37 years of history.
