Delaware Running Festival
The Delaware Running Festival is a multi-distance road race based at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park in Wilmington, Delaware. The event features a course that travels through historic downtown Wilmington, across Brandywine Park along the Brandywine River, along parkways and through historic neighborhoods, and passes near Rodney Square.
The organizers describe the route as varied and designed to showcase many parts of the city while avoiding confusing turns and crossovers. The festival includes community amenities at the start/finish area at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park where non-runners may find live music, vendors and family-oriented activities.
Distances offered include:
- Full marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half-marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The marathon is USATF certified and listed as a Boston Marathon qualifier; historically about 10% to 12% of the festival's marathon finishers have achieved Boston qualifying times. The event also includes charity registration options and a referral rewards program that offers cash and gear incentives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
