North Carolina Running: From Mountains to the Outer Banks
North Carolina offers one of the most geographically diverse running calendars on the East Coast, with race options ranging from the high peaks of the Appalachians to the flat, windy beauty of the Outer Banks. The state features several large city races, including the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon (and Half Marathon) and the City of Oaks Marathon in Raleigh. The Charlotte event is highly popular for its size and its course through the city’s major districts, while the Raleigh race provides a scenic tour of the state capital, offering good options for runners seeking a large, competitive road race.
The Coastal Challenge: Outer Banks Marathon
For a distinct destination experience, the Outer Banks Marathon, held in the historic coastal region, is one of the state's most beloved events. The full marathon course is extremely flat and fast, winding through the maritime forests and along the Albemarle Sound. It offers unique scenery with potential for dramatic coastal weather shifts. This race is highly sought after by those looking for a speedy time combined with a seaside getaway, culminating with a finish in the historic town of Manteo.
The Tobacco Road Marathon in Cary is another key player, known for its fast course along the American Tobacco Trail. Meanwhile, the western part of the state provides grueling trail runs and mountain challenges, such as the Asheville Marathon, which uses the beautiful Biltmore Estate property. Whether you are chasing a personal best on the flatlands or conquering the elevation in the mountains, North Carolina has a race for every terrain preference.
