Overview

Held in conjunction with the Davidson Lands Conservancy’s Green Day festival and exhibition — a day filled with live music and exhibits that highlight companies, products and organizations that employ environmentally sustainable practices — the Run For Green race draws several hundred runners each fall here to the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

Like the 10K and the 5K, the half marathon follows an out-and-back route that starts and finishes on the Village Green in downtown Davidson, which is home to more than 9,000 year-round residents as well as the student body of Davidson College, a liberal arts college that educates more than 1,800 students every year.

Course Description

If they haven’t already before the day of the race, runners will be able to register for any of the three races at the Village Green before the race starts (depending on space availability).
From there, runners then head out onto a course that winds southeast from town, along a route roughly in parallel with the South Prong of the West Branch of the Rocky River, which flows right through Davidson and Mecklenburg County.
The first couple of miles along South Street and Avinger Lane lead to turns onto River Road and then Patrick Johnson Lane, followed by a roughly mile-long stretch along the paved nature trail that stretches between Hudson Place and Robert Walker Drive.
This stretch of the course, like most of the race, features rolling hills throughout and follows an overall gradual downhill until about the mile 3 marker, when the course flattens out some.
