Date/Time: Saturday, November 9 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Location: Renaissance Allentown Hotel, 12, N. 7th St. in downtown Allentown. Map.
There are several parking garages close to the Renaissance. We strongly recommend using an Allentown Parking Authority deck ($1 first hour, $2/hr for hours 2-6). Do not park in Arena Deck that is attached to the hotel and PPL Center even though it is the closest.
Metered street parking is also available at kiosks on each block.
The Renaissance Allentown Hotel is the official 2024 Host Hotel for St. Luke’s D&L RaceFest. Only one block from the marathon start line, it’s the most convenient place to get a restful night of sleep before your big race. You’ll be able to pick up your bib and shirt and visit a variety of vendors and attend educational presentations (below) at the St. Luke’s D&L RaceFest Expo. (Race day pick up is available for an extra fee when you registered.)
