St. Michaels Running Festival

Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 7:10am

St. Michaels High School

The St. Michaels Running Festival presented by Brooks has been one of the premier destination races in the Mid-Atlantic since the inaugural event in 2012. Based in one of the oldest waterfront towns on the Chesapeake, runners will be treated to small-town hospitality, great SWAG, and a rockin' after-party right on the water!

This race is one of only two Maryland events recognized in the TOP 100 HALF MARATHONS IN THE USA! Our course is built to help you reach a new PR. The first mile takes you through downtown St. Michaels – one of the most picturesque waterfront towns in the region. Once you pass Talbot Street you will run through waterfront communities and down country lanes as you wind your way back towards the downtown area for the finish line celebration. Strollers are not permitted in the half marathon.
