"THROUGH THE HEART OF WILMINGTON, FOR THE SOUL OF THE SHIP"

Run Through History. Experience Wilmington.

Join us for one of the Southeast’s most iconic running events in historic downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. 

The Battleship Half Marathon, along with the 10K and 5K, takes runners through the heart of this beautiful riverfront city, with the half marathon course making a memorable loop around the Battleship NORTH CAROLINA. |

With a scenic course, enthusiastic crowds, live music, a great finish-line celebration, and a race weekend filled with history and tradition, the Battleship is more than a race, it’s an experience you won’t forget.
