The Mushroom Cap Half Marathon & FunGI 5 Miler and its sister race, the Fungi 5 Miler, are annual events held in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, which is celebrated as the "Mushroom Capital of the World." The half marathon, which is 13.1 miles long, and the 5-mile race are presented by Run2Shine, a local non-profit organization that donates proceeds to charitable partners in the community. Both courses take runners on a scenic journey through the charming borough's neighborhoods, along quiet country roads, and past historic landmarks and iconic mushroom farms, offering a unique blend of small-town charm and a rewarding, hilly running challenge. The event concludes with a lively post-race festival featuring local food and music, celebrating the community spirit that defines the race.
