The annual Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half Marathon & 5K, brought to you via Ironclad Races Inc. and title sponsor Mother Earth Brewing. Ironclad Races Inc. is a Kinston based non-profit corporation with a mission to produce sporting events in Kinston and donate all proceeds to local non-profit organizations and charities benefiting our community.
The half marathon course is certified with USA Track & Field (NC15015BW) and features a single loop starting outside historic Grainger Baseball Stadium, home of the Down East Wood Ducks. It will take you on a very flat, fast loop through parts of Downtown Kinston, past the CSS Neuse II Ironclad through North Kinston and finish on the first-base line inside the baseball stadium after you round home plate.
The 5K route is also certified, also finishing inside Grainger Baseball Stadium and runnng past the CSS Neuse Ironclad.
Ironclad Races in partnership with the Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half Marathon event board, local business and volunteers aim to bring runners to our community and highlight the historic and cultural beauty of Kinston. While you’re here spend time in the local shops, restaurants or pubs while you enjoy a weekend in our historic southern town.
We’re certain you’ll agree, the Mother Earth Brewing Ironclad Half Marathon is the most welcoming half marathon in Eastern North Carolina!

First time I’ve run the Ironclad. I thought it was a fantastic experience. The bathroom facilities at Grainger Stadium were superb. The coarse was marked and had plenty of volunteers. The experience of running in the stadium was cool. Great food, medal and free beer provided by Mother Earth Brewing.
