One highlight of every Rocky movie is the intense training montage in which Rocky trains for his next big fight. In the Rocky II montage, Balboa runs through Philidelphia, passing by landmarks and having a pack of kids follow him all the way to the Art Museum steps. 
A Philadelphia writer decided to plot Rocky’s run and figure out the exact route he would have needed to take in order to make the scene possible. Taking the most logical route, the Italian Stallion would have tracked just over 30 miles, or 1.16 marathons. In recent years, an independent, non-official re-creation of the route has performed without the sanction of the city, but with the blessing of film fans everywhere.
