Parkway Subaru Battleship Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K

Parkway Subaru Battleship Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K runs in Wilmington, North Carolina, on November 15, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) and the 10K start at 7:00 a.m. and the 5K at 7:10 a.m., all from the historic downtown waterfront. The half crosses the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and loops through Greenfield Lake Park before returning downtown on a flat, fast course.

Finishers in all three distances get medals, live music at the line and a lively post-race party. The event runs duo and wheelchair divisions and offers discounted entry to military personnel, in keeping with its ties to the Battleship North Carolina. A flat profile makes the half a reasonable place to chase a personal best: build for 14 to 16 weeks, practice goal pace weekly, and hold something back for the return leg after the bridge.
