Has anyone run the DE Marathon (not DE Coastal) and would you recommend? It is scheduled for April 25th. One of my friends is signing up for the Dirty German on May 8th. If I train for a 50k, I might as well consider a marathon 2 weeks earlier.

    I ran it in 2014 (yeah, a lifetime ago). There was a parking garage really close to the start/finish line. The route was decent. A combination of tree-line streets and some more urban streets. The crowd support was sparse except for at the start/finish. Swag was okay. The finish chute was a little bit off a mess. Nothing that would keep from running it again though.

    Thanks! I signed up for it and then it was postponed and then canceled. Hopefully I will run it in person in 2023

    As far as I know, Coastal Delaware is still on for November.
