Entry Requirements

The marathon, half marathon, marathon relay, and 10K are competitive road racing events. Runners and walkers are encouraged to participate.

There will be a 7-hour time limit on the course for marathon and marathon relay. The course time limit for the half marathon is 3  hours and 30 minutes. The course time limit for the 10K is 1 hour and 40 minutes. This means all participants must maintain a 16:00 minute per mile pace during the race. Failure to maintain this pace may result in a runner being asked to move to the  sidewalk or shoulder of the road as traffic will be allowed on the race course based on this timeframe. This rule will be strictly followed because of other activities that are scheduled for race day in Raleigh. Every participant must be in adequate health and sufficiently trained to partake in this race. Consult your physician before beginning any endurance training regimen.
