Bull City Race Fest

Bull City Race Fest begins and ends at Diamond View Park on Durham's American Tobacco Campus. The DPAC lawn and Blackwell Street area serve as the event hub. This fall race festival offers a half marathon, a five-miler, and a one-mile run, accommodating competitive runners, casual runners, children, supporters, and families primarily attending for the food. The courses traverse downtown Durham, Duke University, and adjacent historic neighborhoods before concluding back at the American Tobacco Campus. The finish area transforms into a Food Truck Rodeo, a central feature of the event. The race benefits the Duke Cancer Institute, with volunteers assisting at the post-race gathering, which includes Duke Cancer Institute shirts and pet therapy dogs.
