Many races run through speedways and try to make that the signature draw for their runners. However, even the largest speedway can only offer about two miles of terrain, which is a small percentage of a half marathon. This is where the NC Half Marathon excelled. By adding several speedways, including a run around a moto-cross style dirt track and a drag-race strip, the entire race experience felt consistently themed. Sadly, I don’t know if this race exists anymore because their website and Facebook pages are both defunct. It’s sad because I genuinely loved this race, with its multiple racetracks, quality t-shirts and original medals (with LED lights to boot!).
