Overview

More than 900 runners cross the finish line in both races combined each year at the annual Huntersville Half Marathon and Huntersville Holiday 5K, a pair of races that take runners through this town of just over 46,000 residents near Charlotte on a course filled with rolling hills and quiet residential streets throughout.

Runners start the race at the Birkdale Village shopping center, on Lindhorn Drive. From there, the course first heads south and west on Birkdale Commons Parkway past the Birkdale Golf Course and the Cox House Museum, and then into the neighborhoods that lie south of the golf course.

Course Description

Through these areas, the winding streets curve around houses and tree-lined roads, and the hills are really rolling throughout — there are few truly flat stretches.
The biggest hills occur between the 1st and 2nd mile markers and around mile marker 5, and runners will see a repeat of those hills on the return route in the final couple of miles.
Note that the Holiday 5K takes place the Friday evening before the Saturday half marathon, so runners may participate in both races if they wish.
