Can you Conquer the Canal?
We'll give you three different ways to do it!
The Conquer the Canal Race Series comprises a Certified Marathon, a Certified 5k, and a Family Fun Run 5k. Each race will guide its runners alongside the beautifully scenic waterways of the C&D canal!
The Conquer the Canal races are great for both experienced and new runners!
Why? The majority of the course is very level and on solid ground, making it a smooth run with beautiful views of the water and nature! These course conditions allow those with experience to stretch their legs and challenge their PR on a certified course while being amazing conditions for those running their first races or those ready to conquer a certified 5K or marathon!
Your run makes a difference!
The Conquer the Canal Race Series donates proceeds to many worthy local charities and non-profit organizations in New Castle County.
