Welcome to the Independence Series Day 1 Marathon & Half Marathon, taking place in June in Bear, DE! This race has been a beloved event for many years, drawing in participants from all over the country. It’s the first race in a series of races held by Mainly Marathons, with the other legs of the series taking place in Elkton, MD, Birdsboro, PA, Sussex, NJ, and Montgomery, NY. The half marathon course is the first in a series of thrilling challenges – you can run just this one or use it as an introduction to the entire Independence Series. It’s a unique and picturesque 8-lap loop that covers a mix of hard-packed dirt, grass, gravel, and pavement with lots of shade. Each lap has an elevation gain of approximately 39 feet, making it a relatively flat and fast track.
