Cold start — layer up, big temp swing

Runners will start in chilly 36°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 53°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info

The Half Marathon starts at the Dog Pen on Holly Grove Church Road, just outside Ellerbe in Richmond County, North Carolina. It follows the first half of the marathon course out along quiet rural roads with rolling terrain, turns around at roughly mile 6.55, and returns the same way to finish back at the Dog Pen. The route is an out-and-back with long stretches of country road and very little traffic.
