Race Info
The Naptown Half Marathon starts at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on the edge of the US Naval Academy grounds in Annapolis, Maryland. The course runs through downtown Annapolis before joining the Baltimore-Annapolis Trail and returning to the stadium. A companion 10K and 5K run alongside it on race day. The event began in 2020 as a rebrand of the longer-running Zooma Annapolis and Wayfarer's Annapolis half marathons, which had used the same December date on the Annapolis running calendar since 2008.
