The NCRC Classic Half-Marathon & 10K Races are considered to be some of the Triangle area’s premier distance races. Both the 10K and half-marathon have USATF certified “out-and-back” courses that start on paved road, transition through crushed-gravel and the hard-packed bridle trails of Umstead State Park, and finish on pavement. Both the 10K and 13.1 courses officially close at 10:30 a.m.
In 2018 over 500 runners registered for one of the two events, which is produced by the North Carolina Roadrunners Club.
