Race Info
The Naptown Half Marathon starts and finishes at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, beside the US Naval Academy. The USATF-certified half marathon course runs through downtown Annapolis and out onto the Baltimore-Annapolis Trail before returning to the stadium. A 10K and a 5K start from the same place on the same Saturday morning in mid-December, and the race is holiday themed, with Santa caps for runners and prizes for the most festive.
