Back for its eighth year, Race 13.1 Raleigh – Fall half marathon, 10K and 5K returns to the City of Oaks this October! The race will proceed through three beautiful greenway sections: Mine Creek Greenway, House Creek Greenway and Crabtree River Greenway, and runners will enjoy the new downhill finish as they race down Gates Street. With an average temperature of just 54 degrees at race start, this is a perfect event to kick off your fall race season!
Raleigh has received numerous accolades in the recent years, including being named “America’s Best City” by Businessweek.com and one of “America’s Coolest Towns” by GQ. Take in a Carolina Hurricanes game, visit the North Carolina Museum of Art, and enjoy a variety of amenities at North Hills, located in the heart of Midtown Raleigh, where the race will start and finish. North Hills is home to hotels, premier dining establishments, high-end boutiques, department stores, cafes, spas, and bars. Amenities are conveniently located next to the start and finish line.
Race 13.1 Raleigh – Fall Highlights:
– The course from 2015 is back by popular demand (and doesn’t finish up Lassiter Hill!)
– On-course entertainment!

My first time doing this race. Overall it was a good race. The website provides a lot of information. The production was good. Not one of my best races. The incline at mile 11.5 was a slow incline to 13. It was rough. I stayed around 9 pace most of the race and by mile 11.5, the incline started and my last mile clocked at 11.02. It does say a downhill finish but it’s the .1 of 13.1. LOL! Overall, the course was okay. The greenways had many openings where you didn’t feel like in a greenway bubble for 13 miles.
The medal is nice. The shirt fit is good. The after race food were bananas and panera bread bagels. Parking was sufficient. Plenty of portapotty’s and close to a Starbucks.
I PR'd this one!
Pacers are good. Music playing throughout the race kept me moving! Post race food was awesome. Good preparation for my full marathon coming up with some hills. PR'd this one! MORE

My thanks to the volunteers and the Raleigh Police. I had my doubts folks would show up due to the weather but my hat is off to all those folks who where there and made the run enjoyable and safe. You guys are the best.
Would do it again

I love that they have a lot of local races so I can’t wait to try some other locations.
This was one of the smaller races I’ve done – it lacked in swag but exceeded in efficiency. I wish they gave 5k and 10k medals or just more swag in general.
