Course and logistics
The half marathon is an out-and-back "T" course through Cape Henlopen State Park, running from Lewes Main Beach to Rehoboth and back. The organizer describes the course as fast and flat. Chip timing will be used with the Chronotrack B system. Race amenities include long-sleeve 100% cotton shirts, finisher medals for the half marathon, a new costume contest for the half, and custom awards by age group and overall. There are six staffed water stops and five portable toilet locations along the half-marathon course. Packet pickup is scheduled the day before the half marathon and a local restaurant offers a pasta dinner option for runners. The half-marathon cutoff is 3:00:00 (average pace 13:44 min/mile); split times are published for checkpoints and the 5-mile split is used as a removal checkpoint.
