PHILADELPHIA - This Philadelphia Marathon weekend, the ultimate post-race celebration is happening just steps from City Hall. Located inside the luxurious The Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia at 10 Avenue of the Arts, the stunning modern Latin restaurant Aqimero is rolling out a massive "Medals & Mimosas" special to help athletes toast their 26.2-mile accomplishment.
On Sunday, November 22, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, the acclaimed restaurant spearheaded by Chef Richard Sandoval is inviting runners to trade the finish line for an epic Endless Bubbles & Brunch experience.
Earn Your Medal, Claim Your Brunch
Athletes who rally a group and bring six paying guests to celebrate will receive their entire four-course brunch experience completely on the house. The standard price for the upscale meal is $85 per guest, making this an incredible reward for those who just conquered the pavement. For larger celebratory groups featuring multiple athletes, the restaurant will honor one complimentary runner meal for every six accompanying guests.
To claim the victory meal, runners simply need to show their official Philadelphia Marathon race medal to the staff. Advance reservations are strictly required and can be booked directly through the Aqimero website or via OpenTable.
A Modern Latin Feast
After months of strict training diets and fueling up at spots like Bank & Bourbon at the Loews Hotel for pre-race carb-loading, athletes can finally indulge in a decadent, flavor-packed menu. The four-course Endless Bubbles & Brunch features a massive spread of brunch favorites alongside an endless assortment of bubbly cocktails.
Savory menu highlights include modern Latin plates like classic Huevos Rancheros, rich Crab Cake Benedict, and fresh Seafood Enchiladas. To satisfy your post-run sweet tooth, the kitchen also serves decadent Mexican Chocolate French Toast and towering Tres Leches Pancakes. An à la carte brunch menu is also available for guests looking for a lighter bite.
