Greensboro, NC, 27455, US
The Cannonball is the LARGEST celebration of running in our region.
Race distances include Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, Kids Dash AND a bonus challenge option. The backdrop for the races are the gorgeous A & Y greenway in Greensboro, NC and Country Park. The start/finish for all events take place in Country Park, Greensboro's running Mecca.
Whether a veteran to distance running or a relative newbie, this event is a MUST DO for the course, the schwag, the glory, and the PARTY!
In true celebration of the region FIVE local craft breweries pour all day Saturday for participants and spectators. Participants have two craft brews included with their race registration and spectators are able to purchase with all funds generated from beer sales going directly to our charity partner, Brenner Children's.
What is that challenge? The Double Barrel Challenge!
The Friday night 5K allows the unique opportunity to race in the evening AND opens up the challenge of participating in either the 10K, half marathon or marathon on Saturday. Double Barrel Challenge participants receive two shirts and two custom finisher medals (one for each event), PLUS bonus bling for completing the Double Barrel Challenge. Not to mention extra beer and bragging rights!!!
All race participants will receive a custom finishers medal (Kids dash will not receive a medal or shirt, but their own "goodies'), t-shirt, food, beer (21 and up), FREE professional race photos and a celebration! Everyone, friends and family can enjoy the post-race celebration with live music, awards ceremony and activities.
**You must register 2 weeks prior to event to guarantee a shirt.**
The Cannonball offers a variety of race distances – a full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and a 5K Run/Walk – taking place on October 11, 2024, in Greensboro, NC (27455). While specific historical details about "The Cannonball" race are not provided, multi-distance events often cater to runners of all levels, from seasoned marathoners to casual walkers. Participants can generally expect a well-organized event with clear course markings, aid stations providing water and nutrition, and post-race amenities. The typical terrain for races in Greensboro, particularly those likely organized with multiple distances, often involves a mix of paved roads, park trails, and potentially some scenic routes showcasing local landmarks or natural beauty. Given the location, participants might encounter rolling hills, especially in a marathon or half marathon, but the 5K and 10K could offer flatter, more accessible courses. Weather in October in North Carolina is typically pleasant for running, with cooler temperatures and potentially vibrant autumn foliage, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for all participants. The inclusion of a 5K Run/Walk suggests an inclusive event designed for the entire community to enjoy.
