April 23, 2023
Wilmington, DE, 19801, US
Experience a scenic race course that takes you throughout historic downtown Wilmington. “The course has a lot of variety, and gives visitors a tour of many of the most interesting and beautiful parts of the city,†said one past participant from Pennsylvania.
The 2023 version of the race still travels across beautiful Brandywine Park on the Brandywine River, along prestigious parkways, through historic neighborhoods of Wilmington and past downtown’s Rodney Square but without some of the confusing turns and crossovers. Choose from a full marathon, half-marathon, 10k, or 5k. Bring a friend to take advantage of our referral rewards to earn cash and gear. Non-runners can join us at start/finish line at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park for a great party with live music, vendors and activities for the whole family.
We believe this is your best chance to run a certified 26.2 mile road marathon in Delaware! We are a USATF certified Boston Marathon Qualifier and historically 10%-12% of our marathon runners have qualified for the Boston Marathon.Â
The Delaware Running Festival Virtual Full Marathon - Charity Registration, held on April 23, 2023, offers a unique opportunity for runners to participate in a full marathon remotely while supporting a charitable cause. While specific historical details of this particular virtual iteration are limited, the Delaware Running Festival itself has a tradition of bringing the running community together in Wilmington, Delaware. Participants should anticipate a self-directed marathon experience, allowing them to choose their own scenic route within the 19801 zip code or a location of their preference, with the primary goal being to complete the 26.2 miles on race day. This event type, coded as "6", signifies a marathon, catering to experienced runners looking for a significant challenge. Given the virtual format, terrain and conditions are entirely dependent on the participant's chosen course. Runners could encounter anything from flat city streets and park paths to more challenging rolling hills, depending on their selected location. The typical Wilmington area, where the in-person festival is usually held, features a mix of urban landscapes and scenic waterfront areas, often with paved paths and roads. The notable feature of this specific registration is its charitable component, allowing participants to fundraise or register with a portion of their fee going towards a designated charity, adding a layer of purpose and community impact to their individual running endeavor.
