About the 10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

The race starts at Ting Park, home to a baseball stadium, and heads out on a downhill opening stretch before hitting the rolling terrain around Anchor Creek. From there the routes split, with the longer course winding through several neighborhoods, a historic district, and down Main Street before picking up the Middle Creek Greenway for a long out-and-back stretch. The shorter courses stay closer to the greenway.

Parking is at Ting Park off Sportsmanship Way, reachable from both N. Main Street and the highway bypass. The awards ceremony is held inside the stadium on the concourse, and there is a pancake breakfast and a beer company special release at the finish area.

Common Questions About the 10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

Will I finish last at the 10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:07:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:31:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 447 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 10th Annual Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10k & 5k?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:14:17 while the median finisher took 2:07:26. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
