Mushroom Cap Half Marathon and FUNGI 5 Miler Event

Mushroom Cap Half Marathon and FUNGI 5 Miler Event is held in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania — a town known as the mushroom capital of the world — on November 7, 2026. Both races start at 8 a.m.: the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the FUNGI 5-miler, on a route that runs through the town and its public parks.

The course alternates between lively in-town stretches and quieter, more natural sections, giving you a real look at a small town built around mushroom growing. The festive setting suits runners chasing a half marathon time and those happier with the shorter distance equally well. For 13.1 miles, twelve weeks with a weekly long run reaching 11 miles is enough; the 5-miler makes a good hard fall effort, or a natural step up if the 5K has been your usual race.
