ULTRAMARATHON, MARATHON,
HALF MARATHON, 15K
This list of mostly local long-distance road and trail races ranges from
15K (9.3 miles) through ultramarathon (any distance longer than 26.2
miles) and includes some summer races in the North Carolina moun-tains,
as June, July and August are generally too hot locally to safely
allow for longer-distance events at the beach.
Current Boston Marathon qualifying standards can be found at https://
www.baa.org/2019-boston-marathon-qualifier-acceptances. Runners
from all over the country choose the Wrightsville Beach Marathon, with
its flat, fast, and interesting course, as their Boston Qualifier race.
