5 Reasons to Run Delaware Marathon Weekend

There Are Several Distances to Choose From

If you’re ready to sign up for a race, pick your poison! The Delaware Marathon festival takes place on June 12-13, 2021, and is offering distances in the full marathon, half marathon, 4-person full marathon relay, 5K, and a Kids Fun Run.

You Can Run It In-Person!

As of the time this post is published, the Delaware Marathon Weekend plans to proceed in-person! It was tough to see so many races in 2020 get canceled, postponed, or retooled to virtual races, so it’s exciting to see that races are starting to carefully and SAFELY set up in-person races again. The Delaware Marathon staff is currently working hard to make adjustments to the race to ensure the safety of all participants, which is largely a reason why I decided to sign up for the live half marathon. However, if you’re still leery about making a trip to Wilmington, you can sign up to run any of the race distances virtually!

The Course is Scenic, Fast and Flat!

If you’re looking to PR your distance, this could be the perfect course for you! Now I do hear that there are a few hills along the way, but don’t let that deter you! The course takes you through Wilmington, Delaware, and features beautiful Brandywine Park on the Brandywine River, takes you along prestigious parkways, through historic neighborhoods of Wilmington, and past downtown’s Rodney Square. I can’t wait to explore a new city and state and look forward to the challenge!

You Get Nice Swag!

The medals and T-shirts look fantastic for all participants of the Delaware Marathon Festival! And with the shirts being made by Under Armour, you know that you’re getting high-quality gear!
