About the Parkway Subaru Battleship Half Marathon & GFL 10K
The course starts in historic downtown Wilmington along the waterfront, where the Battleship North Carolina sits across the river. Runners head south on Front Street and cross the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge before looping back through downtown, then continue out to Greenfield Lake for a stretch along the lake's greenway trail before returning to the finish.
Packet pickup is the day before at a downtown hotel, and race organizers strongly encourage picking up then rather than on race morning. Parking garages and street spaces are scattered throughout downtown near the start. After finishing, there is beer, snacks, and live music at the finish line party.

The Parkway Subaru Battleship Half Marathon & GFL 10K has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
