Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Rocky Mount, NC (40)

The Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M is a Halloween-season running event in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. All three races start at 8:30 AM from 799 Pennsylvania Avenue. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Each distance follows a repeated out-and-back format. Registration is exclusively through RunSignup; no on-site sign-ups are available. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. The 5K and 10K use a 1.56-mile out-and-back loop, with 5K runners completing it twice and 10K runners completing it four times. The half marathon utilizes a 2.18-mile out-and-back loop, repeated six times. This course design is straightforward but can become mentally repetitive. All distances have a 3-hour, 30-minute time limit, emphasizing pacing more for half marathoners than for shorter race participants.

Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half-Marathon & 5k

The Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half-Marathon & 5k takes place in October in Kinston, North Carolina. It offers a half marathon for those seeking a longer run and a 5k for a shorter run or walk. Mother Earth Brewing is the title sponsor, and Ironclad Races Inc., a Kinston-based nonprofit, organizes the event. The race attracts a local and accessible field, not a massive one: recent half marathon fields have included just over one hundred runners to slightly more than four hundred, while the 5k has drawn from under one hundred to nearly four hundred participants. The event aims to draw runners to Kinston and highlight the city's historic and cultural attractions. Its proceeds support local groups such as HOPE Restorations, Hugo Volunteer Fire Department, Mary’s Soup Kitchen, and other community organizations. The race also ties into local environmental efforts through a partnership with Mother Earth Foundation and Sound Rivers to install a Trash Trap on the Neuse River. This provides the weekend with a distinct small-city character: a race sponsored by a brewery, managed by a nonprofit, with funds and focus remaining within Kinston.

Haunted 5K & 13.1M at Raleigh, NC (42)

The Haunted 5K & 13.1M in Raleigh, a US Road Running event, takes place at 9300 Deponie Dr. Both the 5K and half marathon begin at 9:00 AM. This is a Halloween-themed road race on concrete, not a trail run. Participants can select the 5K or the 13.1-mile distance. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior. Pre-registration on RunSignup is required, as there is no race-day registration. Both distances feature an out-and-back course, designed for simplicity but offering repetition. The 5K completes its out-and-back loop twice, and the half marathon completes it six times, all within a three-hour time limit. Parking and restrooms are located by the playground on the park's north side, with the gate opening at 8:00 AM. Medals are provided to all finishers, and awards will be presented. Series points are awarded, and a best costume prize adds to the Halloween atmosphere.

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Rocky Mount, NC (45)

The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and 13.1M is a small US Road Running race series in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. All three distances start at 8:30 AM EST. Runners can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, with each distance limited to 40 participants. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes prior, making this a ready-to-go event rather than a large expo. The courses are repeated out-and-back routes, simplifying navigation and allowing runners to pass familiar points multiple times. The 5K completes its out-and-back twice, the 10K does it four times, and the half marathon uses a longer out-and-back repeated six times. A 3-hour, 30-minute time limit is in place, along with finisher medals, series points, and a best costume award. The day combines a direct road-race format with some holiday-themed fun.

About Half Marathon races in Greenville, NC

Greenville Training Notes

Greenville, NC hosts 8 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

DH Conley High School generally has a little less traffic than Rose. ECU track gives another clean place for intervals. GoRun does track workouts at DH Conley and hill workouts at Town Common. Fleet Feet Greenville NC hosts a Wednesday pub run from Uptown Brewing Company at 6:15pm with 1, 3, and 5 mile options. The town sits at 09 km with 14 m of gain. Anchor races include The Big Run 5K, ECU Oral Cancer 5k, Reindeer Dash for Cash, and Fiesta Biathlon.

Greenville rides bigger than it looks. The city has 40 cycle routes, and those tracked routes add up to 791 km. The shortest tracked route runs 2 km with 44 m of ascent and 40 m of descent. Swamp Rabbit is good for cycling. ECU North Campus works for steady spins. org keeps the bike conversation moving. The 5 km Blue singletrack climbs 72 m. Paris Mountain is where locals point when you ask where the climbs are. Fiesta Biathlon gives the calendar a clean run-bike anchor.

Greenville trains best when the weather is mild to cool. Locals use those easier days for Z2, long runs, and steady rides before summer turns the dial up. Summer brings temperatures averaging in the 90s, and summer nights sit in the mid-70s. Every summer month has once recorded a record high of 100°F or more, so locals keep the hard stuff honest. Winter stays mild to cool, and temperatures rarely drop below freezing. The city once recorded -6°F, but most winter training still works for running volume, road miles, cyclocross legs, and calm base blocks.
