Coastal Delaware Running Festival
The Coastal Delaware Running Festival takes place over two days in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The weekend program includes multiple race distances and combined challenge options, with races that start and finish on the Rehoboth Ave boardwalk near the beach.
Events on the weekend include:
- Marathon 26.2 miles
- Half Marathon 13.1 miles
- 9K Run/Walk (about 5.6 miles)
- 5K Run/Walk held on Saturday
All courses are described as flat and fast and pass coastal landmarks, including the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, Delaware state park paths, and historic Lewes. The marathon is listed as a Boston qualifier and the half is associated with the RRCA Delaware State Half Championship. Finisher medals are provided for the full, half, 9K and 5K, and race participants in the 9K, half and full receive a special gift. Technical shirts for the 9K, half and full are gender specific.
Event services include Friday and Saturday packet pick up and an expo, free race photos, and a finish line celebration with food and music. Complimentary post race beer is offered for those 21 and over. The event is produced by a nonprofit organizer and directs proceeds to local charities including the Delaware Seashore Preservation Foundation.
