Philadelphia, PA
The course starts on the plaza in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the famous steps draw a crowd even on an ordinary morning. From there the route heads through historic streets and follows the Schuylkill River, keeping things mostly flat with good sightlines and open pavement the whole way.
