Wilmington Half Marathon

We’re excited to host the biggest and best Wilmington Half Marathon in North Carolina! Every year on the first Saturday in December, we host the Wilmington Historic Half Marathon & 5K in downtown Wilmington NC.

The Wilmington Half Marathon starts and finishes downtown at the new Riverfront Park in Wilmington NC. This is a runner’s favorite course because we take you through a beautiful scenic course downtown, tackle 3 bridges in the first 5 miles, take you all the way around Greenfield lake without having a turnaround and finish down the nation’s top-rated Riverwalk! A truly spectacular course the runners rave about!

The course is only part of it! Coastal Race Productions works hard to provide the very best runner experience from start to finish with amazing swag, first class customer service and an unforgettable after party! Come enjoy the beer garden and our famous Carolina BBQ!

If you enjoy half marathon’s, we host 6 other Wilmington Half Marathon’s throughout the year and several 5K’s within an hour of Wilmington NC. Checkout some of the other races while you’re here!

Coastal Race Productions is known for way more than just a Wilmington Half Marathon! We donate and fundraise for 20+ non-profits in the area, we support local scholarship funds with both the Grand Strand Running Club and Wilmington Road Runners and we have our own Non-profit. We host a local women’s only beginner walking/running workshop called First Strides and we also started a new program called Miles For Meals where we collect food for underserved children and families in our local community.

Join us for an unforgettable Wilmington Half Marathon with the Wilmington Historic Half Marathon and 5K the first Saturday in December!
