About the Star City Half Marathon & 10K
The race starts and finishes at River's Edge Park along Reserve Avenue in Roanoke, with the post-race festival set up in a nearby parking lot. The course has distance options for different goals, and the cutoff is based on a pace that keeps things moving without being aggressive.
Bib pickup runs the afternoon before at Fleet Feet Roanoke, with a race-morning option at the park itself. Parking is in the Carilion Garage across from the park entrance, with the Jefferson Street side as the way in and out. After you finish, local spots including Scratch Biscuit and Texas Tavern are part of a post-race food spread, though supplies go on a first-come basis.

The Star City Half Marathon & 10K has been held every year since at least 2015. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
