About this race
Join us on December 19th for a 2026 HOLIDAY HUSTLE themed event! Show off your holiday spirit and join us on Saturday, December 19th, 2026 as we Run Naptown! The Half Marathon, 10k, or 5k distances are the perfect way to wrap up your year of running, with our USATF certified half marathon course. Set your PR for 2026 as we start from the US Naval Academy and travel in to downtown Annapolis, finally venturing out to the Baltimore-Annapolis trail (for the half marathon).
This year we are partnered with the FRIENDS OF ANNE ARUNDEL TRAILS to help their mission in promoting, protecting and enhancing the multimodal trails of Anne Arundel County.
Be sure to show off your Holiday Cheer this year, as we will be giving out Santa Caps to all! Prizes for the most festive runners will also be given out too! We can't wait to spend the holiday with you!! And who knows, we might have a special visitor for the young at heart to wish us all a Happy Holiday!
Also check out our White Elephant program this year! When you join us for the festivities, and you bring a gift for someone else, you can also TAKE a gift from the White Elephant table! Who knows what you will get. (We do ask that you only take a gift if you've brought a gift to exchange)
