Event Overview
The Naptown Half Marathon & 10K/5K takes place in Annapolis, Maryland. The event includes three distances: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K.
Event Details
The event is held at the US Naval Academy stadium located at 550 Taylor Avenue in Annapolis. It is a holiday-themed run, described as a "Holiday Hustle." Participants are given Santa hats. A White Elephant gift exchange is part of the festivities, where participants can bring a wrapped present valued under $10 to exchange.
The half marathon course is USATF certified. The route starts at the US Naval Academy, goes into downtown Annapolis, and for the half marathon, continues onto the Baltimore-Annapolis trail. For the current year, the half marathon and 10K courses have a small change around mile 2, involving running straight to Bladen Street and then right on College Avenue. The 5K course is described as "a whole new course" for the year.
The event is a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) and has a partnership with the Friends of Anne Arundel Trails organization. Prizes are awarded for the most festive runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
