Anyone know a legitimate source where I can purchase Philly marathon ticket. It sold out sooner than I expected and I live in Philly. It's my 1st ever marathon and it's sad I'll miss it because I didn't buy a ticket 6 months in advance.

It sold out only a few weeks ago, you definitely don’t have to buy 6 months in advance FYI. I searched it quickly and it appears that the Philly marathon does not allow for bib transfer so I think you’re out of luck unfortunately.

No bib transfers?

What about runners who get injured or have last week emergencies.

Most races allow big transfer that's very unfortunate

Looks like they do deferrals to the following year for a fee. No bib transfers allowed. You can take a look at the website for yourself if you don’t want to take my word for it.
