Comfortable temps, moderate wind

Mild 52°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Moderate winds around 14mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course. Moderate humidity at 70% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info

The Wilmington Half Marathon is a flat, point-to-point 13.1-mile course on a USATF-certified route. It starts on Wagoner Road in front of Hoggard Hall on the UNCW campus and runs through Wilmington's seaside neighborhoods to the Cape Fear River. The finish is on the downtown waterfront, with a net elevation change of only about 40 feet, which makes it one of the faster half marathons on the East Coast.
