Runners,
It’s that time of year again and we’re thankful for you! We’ve got some big things coming up, and wanted to keep you in the know!
Next Saturday, December 2nd is the 5th Raleigh (Holiday) Half Marathon. As many of you know, our usual course is under construction this year, so we’ll be out on the Neuse next weekend! It’s flat and fast and we’ll be hosting some professional runners aiming for the 2024 Olympic Trials Marathon Standard, so if it’s fast enough for them, you should be in a great spot! The Raleigh Half is our biggest fundraiser for the Sir Walter Miler and we’re about 62 entries shy of fully funding the 2024 event. So come race, come jog, or volunteer! We have many awesome sponsors and partners this year, including Heyday Brewing, which has brewed a light lager for the event called “Free Runner,” which will be available at packet pickup next Friday and at the after party on race day. More info on the event is here: raleighhalfmarathon.com
Giving Tuesday is coming up and we have released our 2024 Membership options! We are excited to provide you with some fun things that will in turn enhance our 2024 schedule. Have you ever wanted to get together with a bunch of runners and watch “Prefontaine” on the big screen? Of course you have. And we’ll have that this spring at the newly re-opened Rialto!
