WHY RUN THE HISTORIC RACE?
1. Voted 2024 Best Half Marathon in NC by Race Raves!

2. Choose from 4 different races- Half Marathon, 10K, 5K or the Challenge. The Challenge consists of the 5K followed by the Half Marathon. We are the only race in Wilmington to offer this.

3. All 3 courses take runners through some amazing views in a completely closed course through historic downtown Wilmington.

4. Run over all 3 downtown bridges and over 1 mile along the nation’s top-rated riverwalk (Half Marathon & 10K only).

5. An awesome Finish Line party is waiting for you! You’ll cross the finish line in Riverfront Park where there will be music, free beer from Wrightsville Beach Brewery and yummy food!
