North Carolina > Run to Victory Half Marathon & 5-Mile
Run/Walk
Randleman, NC
Date
Sunday, December 13, 2009
Event
Details
Perhaps best known as the hometown of the "King of NASCAR" Richard
Petty and the museum that tracks the history of his legendary racing
career, this central North Carolina town also plays host each winter to
the Run to Victory Half Marathon & 5-Mile Run/Walk, which
follows a point-to-point course that starts at the Randleman Middle
School and finishes at the nearby Victory Junction Camp, which was
established by Petty and his family and serves as a year-round camp for
children dealing with serious medical conditions.
Run on paved surfaces throughout the 13.1-mile route, which unfolds
along the winding country roads that connect the Randleman Middle
School with the Victory Junction camp, the race starts off with a
downhill stretch between the starting line and the 1st mile marker,
followed by an immediate and equally steep uphill toward the 2nd mile
marker. Runners can expect to encounter plenty of rolling hills, with
the occasional short and steep hill, along the rest of the course,
which finishes with a downhill in the last mile of the race toward the
campgrounds at Victory Junction.
Both the half marathon and the 5K are open to both runners and walkers,
though participants who are planning on walking the half marathon will
need to be able to complete the race's 13.1 miles within the event's
four-hour time limit.
