The 11th Annual Carolina Sports Medicine Battleship North Carolina Half Marathon is a beautiful and challenging USATF certified (NC-0651-PH) half marathon that starts and finishes at the Battleship North Carolina, crosses two bridges across the river from downtown Wilmington, runs through the Historic downtown area and tours beautiful Greenfield Lake before returning to the Battleship. At the 12-mile point you will reach the highest point on the course as you cross the Cape Fear River via the Memorial Bridge with views of downtown Wilmington, the State Port, and the Battleship. This course is no pushover but it can be a PR type of course if you are in shape and ready to run as demonstrated by the fact that (4) State Records have been set over the years in our half marathon. There will be six Water Stops at approximately two-mile intervals manned by local fitness conscious businesses and individuals for you. Waterstops are worked by Omega Sports, Christy Franklin and the Beta Club of New Hanover High School, the Boy Scouts of Wilmington, Iota Alpha Fraternity - UNCW Chapter, and the Wilmington Athletic Club. Bathrooms are available at the 5-mile and 10-mile point at the Greenfield Lake public restrooms - ask the volunteers. An aid station is located at the 8.5-mile point at the Armory manned by US Marine and Naval Reserve personnel - in uniform, standing tall and looking good.
