Exciting news for our runners this year! They'll exit MLK Parkway earlier, crossing the new Smith Creek Bridge (a flat stretch), and then experience the old Historic Wilmington Rail Road trail, leading them into downtown Wilmington!

Only 65 days away! The Toyota of Half Marathon is an awesome option to run from the beach to Wilmington Downtown, and enjoy running the course with a new way into downtown! Eeek!! This is the next level of awesome!

Day by day, personal best by personal best, challenge by challenge, run by run, little by little, we are on a journey that takes courage and discipline. We can all relate to the hard work that goes into marathon training. Some call us crazy, but the journey is worth it.
