About This Race
The Caesar Rodney Half Marathon is the oldest continuously running half marathon in the United States, first held on April 5, 1964. Often called the granddaddy of Delaware road races, the out-and-back course takes runners along the banks of the Christina River and Brandywine Creek through Brandywine Park and Rockford Park, finishing at Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington. The event draws runners from as many as 20 countries and benefits the American Lung Association.
