Rehoboth Seashore Marathon
The Rehoboth Seashore Marathon is a running event in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, held each December. The event offers both a full marathon and a half marathon and also provides a virtual option.
Registration for the 2026 event opens on January 4, 2026. There is no registration at packet pick up or on race day; packet pick up is held the day before the race at Rehoboth Beach Running Company, with additional race day pick up at the start area. Deferred entrants from 2025 receive a sign-up link valid until February 28, 2026; after that the link expires and standard registration is required.
The course starts on Rehoboth Avenue at the bandstand and finishes on 4th Street behind Rehoboth Beach Running Company. The event enforces a seven hour time limit; participants must maintain a 16 minute per mile pace and be at that pace by mile 18 or they will not be allowed to continue. Runners must follow course marshal directions or face disqualification and possible future registration restrictions.
Race shirts are long sleeve, red, and gender specific with Women’s sizes Small through XXL and Men’s sizes XS through XXL. The marathon serves as a fundraiser for several local organizations including Girls on the Run Delaware and the Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park among others.
