About the Naptown Half Marathon & 10K/5K
The race starts at the stadium on the edge of downtown Annapolis and moves into the city streets, with the half marathon route eventually reaching the Baltimore-Annapolis Trail. Terrain is mixed, so expect pavement alongside trail sections. The event has a holiday theme, and runners tend to show up in costume; prizes go to the most festive.
Packet pickup is the evening before at the stadium, with race-morning bib pickup available for a window before the start. Parking is at the stadium lot. The organizers also run a gift exchange; bring a wrapped present and you can take one from the table.

The Naptown Half Marathon & 10K/5K has been held every year since at least 2020. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
