Murderkill Ultramarathon
Felton, United States • 26 Jul 2025
The Murderkill Ultramarathon, held at Killens Pond State Park in Felton, Delaware, offers 50-mile, 50K, and 12-hour race options on a mostly dirt, 3.1-mile loop trail. The course is relatively gentle with about 80 feet of elevation gain per loop, featuring shaded paths, some roots and rocks, and a scenic footbridge crossing. Runners can cool off by jumping into the pond near the boat ramp. The event embraces an old-school, self-supported style with minimal aid, no chip timing, and a community aid table. Limited to 30 participants per race, it takes place in hot, humid late July conditions, emphasizing respect for the park and a low-key, friendly atmosphere.
