The 12th annual Carolina Sports Medicine Battleship North Carolina Half Marathon and Bay Six Battleship 5K is a beautiful and challenging USATF certified (NC-05061-PH) half marathon that starts and finishes at the Battleship North Carolina across the river from downtown Wilmington, NC. The course crosses two bridges over the Cape Fear River, goes through historic downtown Wilmington, tours beautiful Greenfield Lake, and returns to the Battleship via the Memorial Bridge. Entries will be limited to 1,400 runners in the Half Marathon and 550 in the 5K. The course is challenging but produced two State Records in 2001. Cathy Wides of Durham, NC beat her own state record (F 50-54) with a 1:30:36. The late Lee Cooper of Swansboro, NC set the State Record (M 70-74) with a 1:46:10. Ugh-rah! In 2007 two more State Records were set. One in the male 14-15 age group and one in the male 65-69 age group.

The Bay Six 5K is a USATF Certified (NC-08075-PH) challenging out and back course that starts with you running south on Battleship Road down to the a turnaround underneath the Memorial Bridge, there you do a U-turn, run back past the Battleship Memorial, head out the access road, turn right and loop over and back across the Brunswick River bridge, and return to finish in front of the “Immortal Showboat.” It is a sweet little course but also has a bit of a bite. Open, Masters, and Grand Masters M/F winners receive a free pair of New Balance shoes courtesy of New Balance of Wilmington. Also, the local Mid-pack M/F runners in both races receive a free 1-year membership to Golds Gym.
NOTE: There is only one male and one female Mid-pack award winner in each race. A total of two Mid-pack awards will be given out in each race. The Mid-pack runner is picked solely by the Race Director.
The race is directed by Ed Fore with indispensable help from the members of the local running community and staff of the Battleship North Carolina and the many great volunteers who make the race happen.
