Coastal Delaware Running Festival

The Coastal Delaware Running Festival takes place April 10–11, 2027 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware at Rehoboth Ave and the Boardwalk. The event includes a Saturday 5K and several races on Sunday: a 9K, a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a full marathon (26.2 miles). The marathon is a BAA Boston Marathon qualifier.

Courses are described as flat and take in coastal landmarks, including a Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk start and finish, Delaware state park paths and historic Lewes. Several multi-race entries combine the Saturday 5K with a Sunday race; these entries note multiple finisher medals and additional event items.

A finishing line celebration follows the races and features complimentary beer, food, music and cheer. Proceeds from the festival benefit the Delaware Seashore Preservation Foundation and other local charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
