Rootrock Trail Run - 5K/10K/Half Marathon

Rootrock lives up to its name: the trail run sends 5K, 10K, and half marathon runners onto single-track paths covered in roots and rocks at Briar Chapel, south of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It takes place on a mid-fall morning and utilizes the trail network within a 900-acre green community, featuring forested paths designed for hiking and mountain biking. Great Meadow Park is the start and finish area. Its lawn, stage, and pavilion provide a central gathering point for the race. This run is the first event of the Rootrock Trail Races and is paired with the Rootrock Mountain Bike Race; athletes registering for both receive a discount and a special award. Following the run, the event offers food, music, a kids' treasure race, and an awards ceremony with giveaways.

Cape Fear River Run

The Cape Fear River Run starts and finishes at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The series utilizes the Cape Fear River Trail, a paved greenway alongside the Cape Fear River, and includes a 10K, a half marathon, and the River Rage Double for participants who wish to compete in both distances. The half marathon is Fayetteville's sole half marathon on this trail, while the 10K is open to runners aged 10 and up, and the half marathon to ages 12 and up. The 10K route incorporates a section of the Linear Park Trail before connecting with the Cape Fear River Trail, passes beneath one trail trestle, and features an aid station at the turnaround point. The half marathon course measures slightly over 13.25 miles, with two covered trestles, a waterfall, aid at Clark Park, and an additional aid station at its turnaround. Participants completing the Double receive a bonus challenge medal. The river adjacent to the trail is a 191-mile blackwater river, formed by the confluence of the Haw and Deep rivers, and its basin is the largest in North Carolina.

10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

The Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10K & 5K begins near the stadium at Ting Park, within the North Main Athletic Complex in Holly Springs, North Carolina. This annual road race offers half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances, along with ruck divisions for each. The course presents runners with a combination of rolling hills, flatter sections, neighborhood streets, greenway trails, and a run down Main Street, avoiding a monotonous out-and-back on empty pavement. All races start with a descent from Ting Park toward North Main Street, then encounter the rolling hills of Anchor Creek in the initial mile before reaching Middle Creek Greenway. The half marathon proceeds south through Bridgewater, Windcrest, Sunset Ridge, Veterans Park, Jones Park, the historic district, Main Street, and Womble Park. In Womble Park, participants navigate a figure-eight loop before rejoining the greenway around mile seven. The half marathon then follows Middle Creek Greenway for approximately five miles, with turnarounds at both extremities, before returning via Anchor Creek Way for the final mile to the finish. The 10K and 5K share the same initial section and enter Middle Creek Greenway, providing shorter-distance runners a sample of the varied terrain.

7th Annual Mangum Marathon & 1/2 Marathon

The Mangum Marathon & 1/2 Marathon begins at the Dog Pen, located outside Ellerbe, North Carolina, near the junction of Carthage Creek Road and Holly Grove Church Road. This January road race offers two distances: a full marathon (42.2 km) and a half marathon (21.1 km). Both events are chip timed, with a 7-hour cutoff for the marathon and a 5-hour cutoff for the half marathon. The course follows quiet country roads with rolling terrain and extended sections where participants might find themselves running solo for periods. Marathon participants will travel 2 miles out, turn right, proceed 11.1 miles to a turnaround point, and then retrace their path back to the finish. The full course presents its most challenging ascent around mile 22. All finishers will receive medals, the top male and female overall winners will be awarded custom engraved tumblers, and age-group awards will be presented three deep for categories ranging from 0-19 to 60+.

About Half Marathon races in Pinehurst-Southern Pines

Sandhills Miles And Rides

Pinehurst-Southern Pines hosts 4 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Pinehurst-Southern Pines on sandy soil, greenways, and park loops. The Pinehurst Greenway gives runners a pretty flat 5-mile out-and-back on Linden Road when Z2 is the job. Southern Pines Reservoir Park has a 2-mile loop around a 95-acre lake, so it works for easy miles before intervals. Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve covers 900 acres with pine forest feel underfoot. The loop hits 58 km and gains +114 m when locals want longer rolling work. Sandhills Running keeps the scene visible. Sandhills Flyers 5K, Pinehurst Turkey Trot, Viking Dash, and the Sasquatch races give the calendar its anchor event feel.

Rainbow Cycles says the Sandhills Area is a great place to ride a bike, and locals mostly agree after a few base miles here. Southern Pines Greenway Trail keeps rides mellow when the legs need recovery. Governor's Creek MTB Trail gives off-road riders a local singletrack option. Governor's Creek MTB Trail runs 9 mi from Camp Easter Road to McDeeds Creek Road. Horse farm neighborhood roads bring gravel and rollers. The climbs are in the rolling hills, with some descents and climbs but nothing like mountain grades. Pinehurst Triathlon Festival gives cyclists the anchor race name.

Locals train year-round, but the sweet spot is when sandy ground stays firm and the greenways feel easy to stack. Summer puts Reservoir Park, Weymouth Woods, and Martin Dog Park into the rotation because shade, water, and short loops matter. Reservoir Park has that 95-acre lake and a 2-mile loop, so runners can keep things controlled and riders can spin without turning the day into a gran fondo. Winter changes the rhythm more than the terrain. The Pinehurst Greenway stays useful because it is pretty flat and totals 5 miles. Deer show up early, Pinehurst still was not built on a grid, and locals keep routes simple when daylight gets tight.
