10th Annual Mushroom Cap Half Marathon

On November 8th, the 10th Annual Mushroom Cap Half Marathon, sponsored by Chatham Financial, returns to Kennett Square—marking a decade of racing through the Mushroom Capital of the World. More than just a run, it’s a celebration of community, tradition, and the scenic beauty of Chester County in autumn.

From rolling hills that test your legs to quiet farm roads and historic Main Streets, the course highlights the unique character of Kennett Square—where small-town warmth meets wide-open countryside.

Choose your challenge—13.1 miles or 5 miles—and join a race infused with energy, camaraderie, and local pride. Then, cap off your achievement at the lively post-race festival, complete with Victory Brewing, live music, and hometown flavors that make this event a true Kennett Square experience.
