Greensboro Half Marathon

The Greensboro Half Marathon is a fall road race in Greensboro, North Carolina, starting from 600 Battleground Avenue near the city center. Runners can choose the half marathon, 5K, or 1 Mile. The half marathon is built for speed: it is USATF certified, has only about 300 feet of total elevation gain, and was designed to be the fastest course possible inside Greensboro’s city limits. The half marathon uses a two-loop course, a practical choice made to keep the route quick while staying within the city. The race suits first-time half marathoners as well as experienced runners trying for a PR. It is part of the North Carolina Road Mega Medal Series, where finishers collect medals that fit into a larger multi-race puzzle. After the run, the event adds vendors, music, food, and beer. It partners with A Simple Gesture to support work against food insecurity in Greensboro.
