Filled with rolling hills — especially in the second half of the race — that take runners through the scenic rural landscape of Pennsylvania’s Upper Perkiomen Valley near Philadelphia, the Perk Up Half Marathon is open to both runners and walkers. The race starts and finishes in front of the Perkiomen School on Seminary Street, and from there follows a clockwise loop around the rural countryside just outside town.
