Wilmington, NC
Entry is $40 now and rises to $50 after Aug 6, 2026, so registering before then saves $10.
The race is held at Long Leaf Park, organized by the local housing authority as a fundraiser for resident programs covering education, workforce training, and youth enrichment. The park setting keeps things accessible, and the event draws a crowd that includes housing authority staff, neighbors, and supporters alongside runners. It reads more like a neighborhood gathering than a racing event.
