About the Annapolis Running Festival
The course is billed as fair but genuinely challenging, so expect some hills rather than a cruise. It is rooted in Annapolis, and the route has enough to it that runners talk about the terrain afterward.
Packet pickup happens at several locations across the region in the days before the race, including a local oyster bar and a couple of running stores, with a final pickup at the race venue the day before. There is no race-morning pickup, so plan ahead or arrange for a friend to grab your bib.

The Annapolis Running Festival has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
