About the Rudolph’s Run 5K
The course starts in Conaty Park and winds through Wilmington. The race benefits a local nonprofit that delivers toys and support to children facing medical hardship over the holidays, so the morning has a clear sense of purpose behind it.
Bibs are picked up at Catherine Rooney's on Delaware Avenue before the start, and the bathrooms there serve as the pre-race facilities. The park is a short walk from the pickup spot, so most people head straight over once they have their bib.
