North Carolina Half Marathon Calendar event dates in grey are delinquent dates not updated by the race organizer yet. We strive to have dates 1 year out for North Carolina half marathons, but have no control of when they set, announce or update their dates.
The North Carolina Half Marathon Calendar is a complete simplistic listing of North Carolina half marathons. Currently the North Carolina half marathon schedule has 2024 North Carolina half marathons and 2025 North Carolina half marathons as they roll in. North Carolina half marathons 2024 & North Carolina half marathons 2025 also identify trail half marathons and walker friendly half marathons by a (T) symbol and a (W) symbol. The (T) means it is a TRUE trail half marathon 21k (off road, switchbacks, etc) and a (W) means it is truly "official walker friendly" requiring the half marathon to allow a minimum of 18:32 mile pace, minimum 4 hours for participants to finish the 13.1 mile distance.
The North Carolina half marathon calendar features a complete listing of Raleigh half marathons, Charlotte half marathons, Greensboro half marathons, Cary half marathons, Fayettville half marathons, Outer Banks half marathons, Winston Salem half marathons, and many more 1/2 marathons in NC.
