Rehoboth Marathon/half Marathon Updates:
As of November 15th, the race is almost full. There are about 150 spots left in the full marathon. There are about 90 spots left in the Half Marathon. Once the race is full, registration will close. If the race does not reach capacity, registration will close on Saturday November 26th at midnight EST. There will be no more registration after that. There is no registration at packet pick up or race day.
There is a limit on the after party wristbands this year. This is to make sure we cut down on lines and to make sure we have enough food and drinks for all finishers and guests. There is a limit of 400 extra wristbands for guests. We have about 60 left. There will probably not be any left for purchase at packet pick up or race day. To purchase them now, you can add them to your registration or you can on line to www.runrb.com,https://u2167293.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=y8gbbtHH8YHcmBoPtattF9tAbPGN3IXOTPCKOuVSREk-3D_8Dr1GaTRYDWGw-2FWhlDMqK4rbxNwV5ch18ndfDOvCg1d8QPPAB6D1dC0m97ozSVc-2BHQDTjuoV0hQrqZT9y-2BLrVzAiWHAkz7YZagVGDi30iT2kb8nqJzH4qQRAGf-2Fubwl7aTiciarUrkXrN88tML9BGOblI7t0Y7MAZVeqAxpVhYrVbWR8kl5cYQJVrDDRW3mNjoAV6g-2BbDJM4MWE16MzGXDg3z-2FQNJ7b-2FnRMCGkGbyxs-3D click on shopping, search for after party. They will be mailed until November 18th. After that, they will be held for packet pick up. If you purchased them with your registration, they will be held for packet pick up.
Packet Pick up is Friday December 2nd across from Rehoboth Beach Running Company (301 Rehoboth Avenue). 2:00-8:00 (This is a change from the website). There will also be race day pick up. It will be located at the Rehoboth Bandstand (race start). 5:30-6:45. Please do not show up at 6:50 to pick up your packet.
There is plenty of free parking for packet pick up and race day. You can not park on 4th street for packet pick up and we will be starting to set up the finish line.
There is an unofficial bag check. There are bins with numbers. We will transport those items to the finish. It is not secure. You should not put valuables in the bins.
Both races will start at 7:00 am on Saturday December 3rd.
There are regular bathrooms and port-o-potties at the start. There are bathrooms located about every 2 miles along the course.
There are water and gatorade stops about every two miles. There will be Gu brand gels at the entrance to the state park (marathon only- miles 9 and 12) and Grove Park (both races). Grove park is mile 19 for the full and mile 5 for the half. There will not be gels given out anywhere near the trails since some participants are not careful with their gel trash. The gel flavors will be vanilla and triberry. If you need more gels, you can always take an extra at the water stop.
Please don't thrown down trash anywhere, except right by a water stop.
The time limit is 7 hours for both races. There will be food and drinks for all participants and guests.
New for this year: There will be no awards ceremony. We will make a presentation outside the tent for the overall and masters winners. Everyone else will be able to pick up their awards outside of the tent, starting at about 9:15 for the half and about 3:30 for the full.
The temperature is usually in the 40's and 50's.

Please don't contact us about the weather, we don't know any more than you about that.
For more information see the FAQ's on our rbmarathon website. If you have questions after checking the website, email Mary Beth at mbevans314@gmail.commailto:mbevans314@gmail.com. Please allow 24 hours for an answer. Please don't call Rehoboth Beach Running Company for questions. People there can't answer a lot of the questions. They're also busy with store customers. They can absolutely not let you into the race when it is full.
I will get more emails out next week about our sponsor restaurant specials, etc.
Thanks!
