North Carolina > Cannonball Run Half Marathon & 5K Run/Walk
Greensboro, NC

Date

Saturday, October 18, 2008



Event Details

More than 550 runners took place in last year's running of the Cannonball Run Half Marathon, 5K and Kids' 1.2-mile race, which takes place just outside Greensboro and is named for the famed 1980s movie of the same name. The 13.1-mile course, an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Greensboro's Country Park, takes runners along a course made up entirely of paved city streets and with some gentle hills thrown in, through tree-lined neighborhoods and past scenic Lake Brandt around the half-way point in the race.

All half-marathon finishers in this, the 4th annual running of the race, receive a custom Cannonball Run Half Marathon race medal. The event also includes what organizers call the "Fittest Family Challenge," in which families can compete as a team with their combined race times.


Race Weather & Climate

Just miles from neighboring Winston-Salem and not far from the Virginia-North Carolina border in the northern part of the state, the city of Greensboro tends to see mild, cooling weather in the early fall, with October temperatures that average between 47°F and 70°F. Rainfall averages about 3.27 inches for the month.
