Waitlist and registration
The AACR Philadelphia Marathon and the Dietz & Watson Half Marathon are sold out; a waitlist is open for signup. The waitlist is first come, first serve; a credit card is required to join but will not be charged unless a slot becomes available.
Organizers plan to begin opening waitlist spots in late September. When openings are offered, selected runners will be charged and become officially registered. There are deadlines and procedures to withdraw from the waitlist before charges, and the same deferral and transfer rules apply to registered participants.
