On Thursday, corporate sponsor Independence Blue Cross told Action News it expects extra security at the race.
"We've been reassured by Mayor Nutter that every city, state and local law enforcement agency - they're all working together to keep all of the runners safe, and our entire community safe," said a spokesperson.
