Key FactsRegistration open

---

A hilly, USATF-certified Boston qualifier marathon in Raleigh, NC, starting downtown near the State Capitol, passing the NC State Belltower and Pullen Park, then joining the Capital Area Greenway trail system before finishing in Glenwood South. The course has about 342-372m of climbing and a 6-hour time limit.

Why attend here

Come for the marathon, stay for the leafy calm of Raleigh's greenway trails, where autumn's gold filters through the trees along Reedy and House creeks. After the race, refuel with a hearty bowl of North Carolina barbecue and a craft beer in the Warehouse District, then stroll the historic oak-lined streets downtown.
