Expo Day

The Delaware Running Festival Health & Fitness Expo will be held on Saturday, April 27 from 10am – 5pm, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Downtown Wilmington.

We are excited that this will continue to allow us to host a more traditional “expo event” during packet pick-up of the 2019 Delaware Marathon Running Festival.  Gone are the days of sloshing through the mud and jumping from tent to tent at Tubman-Garrett Park to pick up your race materials.  Now, runners will be able to visit a single, indoor location to claim their race bib and race premium and also have a chance to visit some vendors who will offer their wares to help you prepare for or celebrate your race experience.

Plan on spending some time going through our great expo. Local and nationally known vendors will be on-hand selling products, giving out goodies, and offering special services.  These are the sponsors who help make this weekend possible!  Also plan to stop by our Delaware Running Festival Merchandise booth featuring exclusive apparel and souvenirs. And, if you haven’t yet registered, you can do so at the expo!

The DoubleTree is located within a 15-minute walk (0.6 miles) of the Start/Finish line at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park. During expo hours, street parking is free outside of the hotel, while the city also offers a nearby parking garage for a small fee.

Race Shirts will ONLY be distributed on Saturday during expo hours. Please plan accordingly!

What to Bring

You MUST BRING your e-registration card (E-Card) to Packet Pick-up to retrieve your race bib. These will be emailed to the email address you used during registration on Monday, April 22 by 4pm. You will be able print it out or have it available on your mobile device.

Picking Up For A Friend
