This is the most elevation gain you can have on a run in Delaware. This route goes from the lowest point (the Delaware River) to the highest point (Ebright Azimuth) at 448’. This area of the state is surprisingly hilly. Technically the lowest point in Delaware is where the Delaware River meets Delaware Bay 50 miles south, however the Delaware River has regular tides that reach as far upstream as Trenton, so it’s basically the lowest point in the state. The Delaware River is a major transportation artery for ships going as far north as Philadelphia.
