“We are delighted to collaborate with Penn Orthopaedics at the Love Run Philadelphia Half Marathon & 7.6K, the kickoff to the spring running season. Our last race drew over 10,000 runners and we expect to surpass that field number in 2022,” said Michele Redrow, Race Director. “It is always our goal to provide our runners with top-notch medical expertise. Partnering with Penn Orthopaedics and their medical team provides us the confidence that our runners are receiving the highest level of care in the nation.”
As the official medical team of the 2022 Love Run Philadelphia Half Marathon, Penn Sports Medicine physicians will provide race day medical expertise to runners, which includes medical aid stations along the course led by volunteer physicians, nurses and staff.
“Penn Orthopaedics is proud to once again partner with the Love Run Philadelphia Half Marathon. After a two year hiatus from the race due to the pandemic, our team of physicians, athletic trainers, therapists, and nurses is eager to return to providing expert care to the athletes on race day,” said Alexis Tingan, MD, Medical Director of the Love Run and Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Surgery at Penn Medicine. “The Penn team will also provide training to the nurses, paramedics, EMTs and athletic training volunteers that are staffing the event on race day.”
As part of the partnership with the Love Run, specialists from Penn Orthopaedics will share expertise on topics ranging from injury-prevention to recovery tips for experienced and new distance runners.
Race day begins on Sunday morning adjacent to the scenic steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, surrounded by stunning views of the city skyline. Participants begin their 13.1-mile journey on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, running through Philadelphia’s historic City Center passing some of the Nation’s most historic landmarks including Independence Hall. The route takes athletes back past friends and family lining the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to Fairmount Park along the Schuylkill River before a “sprint” to the finish at Eakins Oval and iconic “Rocky Steps.”
