Race Info
The Ocean City Running Festival offers a marathon, half marathon, 8K, and 5K each November in Ocean City, Maryland. The marathon runs out and back from the Ocean City Inlet, crossing Isle of Wight Bay into West Ocean City with a turnaround at Assateague State Park, while the half marathon starts at Assateague and covers the marathon's final 13.1 miles back to the inlet. Both courses are USATF-certified (marathon MD23018NP, half marathon MD23019NP) and finish along the Ocean City Boardwalk. The 8K and 5K run out-and-back routes on the boardwalk itself, starting and finishing at the inlet. Source
