Race Info
With 26.2 and 13.1-mile race options, Cape Fear Marathon and Half Marathon takes place entirely on Bald Head Island and its car-free, one-lane-wide roads, plus a short but spectacular stretch on the beach around Cape Fear herself. The start and finish are located at Old Baldy, the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, while another main checkpoint will be located at the Bald Head Island Conservancy, our local charitable partner.
