The Raleigh Greenway Half Marathon is a late-fall half marathon in Raleigh, North Carolina. It starts and finishes at Anderson Point Park, a roughly 90-acre park a few miles east of downtown. The park sits near the meeting point of the Neuse River and Crabtree Creek. The race is open to runners, walkers, and wheelchair competitors. The route is out and back, with an early 3.5-mile section past Carolina Lake before the field returns toward Anderson Point Park and heads for the greenway. After the opening road section around New Hope Road, Poole Road, Old Poole Road, and Trademark Drive, the course turns south through the park and joins the Neuse River Greenway Trail. That trail runs nearly 28 miles overall, with paved path, boardwalk, bridges over rivers and creeks, historic sites, and farm fields along the way. For the rest of the race, runners stay close to the Neuse River, follow the riverbank south to a dirt road near the woods, turn around around mile 9, and retrace the same route back to Anderson Point Park. Organizers plan music along the course, so the race is not just a quiet greenway run.

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.
