## What is Course Atlas?

Get ready for the Philadelphia Marathon with Course Atlas. Explore the full marathon course on Apple Maps, save your race-day preferences and estimate passage times from a runner's start time and expected pace or finish time. Switch between kilometres and miles and use the course profile to understand the route.

Choose Runner or Spectator to personalize your plan. Included courses and planning tools are available with your app purchase. No annual subscription is required. Chicago, Toronto and New York course planning also remain available.

Choose View street at a selected course point to see Apple Look Around imagery where available. Open Apple Maps or Google Maps for walking or transit directions. Imagery may be nearby or from another date; it does not confirm viewing access. Directions may cross closed roads or restricted race areas. Check official crossings, viewing access and transit service, and follow staff and barriers.

No account is required. Runner setup is saved on your device. Apple Maps, directions and street imagery use provider services and need available map data or a connection. Location-based recommendations require a fresh, accurate location near a viewing area and confirmation of sidewalk access. Walking times are estimates; finish viewing requires valid access.

Course Atlas is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by New York Road Runners, race organizers or CTA. Routes and markers are approximate planning guides, not race navigation or exact splits. Mapped start and finish positions and bridge lanes may differ on race day. Elevation uses terrain data and older lidar estimates; gaps remain unknown. Profiles are not surveyed race-day road-deck heights or total-climb measurements.
