HALF-MARATHON COURSE

The Delaware Half-Marathon course will continue to run through some of the most scenic parts of downtown Wilmington.  Route changes implemented in 2019 will continue, unifying the full, half and team relay courses so everyone uses the same routes for the first 13 miles.

WATER STATIONS

The course will consist of 6 water stops stocked with water and Gatorade. Feel free to bring your own hydration system (such as a camelbak) if you prefer or to refill your bottle at the water stations. Each water station will have at least one port-a-pot for runner use.
