  The meeting point is at Biddle Point along the C and D canal. It does not really have an address. The best way to find it if you’re coming from route 13 and turn East onto Cox Neck Road. Pass by Gunning Bedford Middle and then Southern Elementary on your Left. Immediately on the right, there is a large brown sign for the C and D canal. Take the next Right which will bring you to the meeting point.

  Welcome to the first year of the Full Moon 5K Trail Run/Walk at Brandywine Creek State Park!

  The trails of Brandywine Creek State Park are waiting for you! Come on over, enjoy the trails, and watch the moonrise of the Flower Moon at the top of Hawk Hill after you cross the finish line.

  This event is a fundraising event for three groups: The Friends of Brandywine Creek State Park, GRIT: Girls Really Into Trails, and the Delaware Interscholastic Cycling League.

  Moonrise will be at ~8:20PM and we encourage everyone to bring a chair so you can stick around, enjoy the music, lawn games, s'mores, snacks, and a drink at the top of Hawk Hill. (Adult beverages available for for those 21+). S'mores and lawn games are free for everyone, participating runners and families alike.

  Sunset will be at ~7:57PM. While the sun will still be up after most participants complete the event, it is always slightly darker in the woods! If you believe you will be on the race course for close to the full allotted hour, the recommendation would be to bring a head lamp as there will not be additional illumination provided on course.

  We just want to remind you so you are properly prepared that this is a trail run/walk and there will be some rocks, roots, grass and other natural surface elements on the course. Come prepared and ready to have fun!

  Bib Pickup and the start and finish line will be at the top of the Hawk Watch Parking Lot at Brandywine Creek State Park 41 Adams Dam Road Wilmington, DE 19807.

  Just minutes from I-95 this mid-season Sprint/Olympic race is fast, flat and easy to get to. Staged out of beautiful Lums Pond State Park in Bear, Delaware this is a great race for elite and novice athletes alike. The freshwater swim starts with a rectangular course that parallels the shore for the first 250 meters. The bike course is super fast and completes a large loop around the park. This course is completely flat, all right hand turns and has great pavement throughout. The run course is amazing with a beautiful, heavily forested mix of single track lake views and wide open graveled walking paths. There are mountain biking, hiking and running trails galore as well as the GoApe ropes course. Or you can relax with friends post race at Stewarts Brewing Company on the way home.

  ***The Lum’s Pond Sprint & Olympic Triathlons are the USA Triathlon Delaware State Championships.

  Qualifying for the Toyota Age Group National Championships. State championships will qualify the top 35% or top five (5) finishers in an age group (whichever is greater).
