Philly Marathon REQUIRES vaccine

Don't run. Free market, my guy.

Anyone whose had an abortion should be banned from racing.

Too bad your mother didn’t love abortions as much as you do.

So you support murder? Isn’t this all about one death being too many?

I suggest getting the vaccine, but you can still run the race. Just don't register. They have the Philly police as the line of defense of getting on the course and have you seen McNesby? All they want is donuts and don't care what you do.

Cooper River Bridge Run, held on September 25 and formerly one of the largest 10k races in US, sprung on its participants with two a half weeks before race day that you had to show proof of a complete vaccine regime or a negative test to pick up your race bib at the expo. They said it was a decree from the city of Charleston, SC. Less than 12,000 runners completed the race this year, down from 29 thousand in 2019 and 27 thousand in 2018. I think they lost some participation due to this being the third time it was postponed, but they were expecting nearly 20 thousand to run it and ended up with less than 12 thousand. I think it will take several years, if ever, for Cooper to rebuild the trust it lost this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Philly has the same situation.

That sounds awesome. Most of these big road races are horribly overcrowded anyway.

Will help with traffic and parking as well.

I understand there may be another cause of course but it's not an eating disorder. He just uncontrollably gets sick at seemingly random times, it's not like he's going into the bathroom to throw up after meals.

If he hasn't gone to a doctor, please make certain he goes ASAP. Daily vomiting is not a known side-effect of the vaccine, and it could point to something serious that requires prompt medical attention.

But plenty of time to prepare. The Broad Street Run held this past Sunday required all runners to provide proof of vaccination in order to receive a number. No reason to believe marathon weekend would be any different.

Philly Distance Run allowed negative test

Someone I love got the J+J vaccine and he's been vomiting almost daily since. It started after the vaccine. He was certain it was safe, and now he can't entertain the idea that it's harmed him despite the obvious timing. I'm extremely worried about him and enraged at any idiot or money hungry tyrant who even encourages getting it.

Yep and the media never reports these incidents yet searches high a low for a young adult getting "severely" sick from covid into the ICU and plugs it all over the news. Then they'll shame the unvaxxed and make most vaxxed turn against them to cause the division the media fiends for.

Two and a half weeks to provide a test --mandated by the city-- that is easily scheduled and takes less than 15 minutes to do. If this type of supposed breach of trust (?) takes years (or eternity) to get over, some people must go through life holding a lot of grudges.

I neglected to mention that the test had to have been performed (not the results) no more than 48 hours before showing up at the expo, not exactly convenient for those who traveled in from out of town, like our gang who rented an AirBnB for the weekend, or for any large destination race. At-home tests were sold out around here.

I don't disagree with you. Cooper River is a bucket list race for any runner in South Carolina and I've always avoided it because of the logistics and lodging costs but some buddies split the cost of a house near the starting line and offered me the extra room. I doubt I'll go back.

Neg test not accepted . Interesting. And stupid. Mostly stupid.

Simple solution- don't run the Phili marathon.

Natural immunity no good.

Negative test no good.

Must vaxx.

This is not about public health.

Are you mentally ill?

I don't see the big deal. Most people are vaccinated. At this point, if you've chosen not to get vaccinated, you have to deal with the repercussions of your choice. If you can't or won't get the vax to run the race, then choose a different race.

Shhh. Only when it benefits them. Not like this.

thank you for saying this, because of course you're right and I'll bring up the idea of seeing a doctor again.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that the vaccine is free and available at places you likely already go.

Highest IQ marathon ever!

Agreed, not super convenient. But you need a negative test within 72 hours to fly into the US, which I've done a couple times recently, and it really is nothing more than a small inconvenience. They administer covid tests all over the place, especially in big cities. So yes, annoying, but I still don't consider this something someone can't get over for years.
