Philadelphia Marathon pre-race pasta party at the Pennsylvania Convention Center

The Philadelphia Marathon traditionally hosts a pre-race pasta party and race expo at the Pennsylvania Convention Center where runners pick up packets, visit vendor booths, and attend a carb-loading pasta meal. The pasta party is organized as part of marathon weekend activities and typically features local caterers and sponsors providing pasta stations and race-day information. The Convention Center also houses the marathon expo that showcases local food and beverage partners in the days before the race.
