Normally today is EXPO day and the day before the big race. Corona had other plans. Next year we will be back on February 27th, 2021. We moved a few weeks earlier and will stay at this date so you can support some of the later events in March that were also cancelled. Registration is open! We ask our running community to help us make 2021 the biggest and best year yet. We are going to set a lofty goal of 5000 runners and hope you will share our event! All of our runners who were unable to race this year receive a $0.00 entry into 2021 OR they can virtually race the 2021 event starting now for a year long supportive effort. Thanks again for supporting the NHRMC Wilmington NC Marathon. www.wilmingtonncmarathon.com #flattenthecurve #covid_19 #wilmingtonmarathon #wilmington #marathon #marathonmaniacs

We regretfully inform you that the 11th Annual NHRMC Wilmington Marathon will have to be cancelled. According to the CDC recommendations, events over 250 people should be postponed or cancelled. The Governor of North Carolina has just announced to not hold events and sporting events over 100 people in North Carolina. We love running as much as you all. We are all runners and we also are dealing with our own race cancellations that we have signed up for. We are in this together. WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL OPTIONS WHICH WE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AS SOON AS WE GATHER THEM. One of those options will be to defer FREE into 2021. If you paid the additional fee to defer, we will refund that fee. More options will be provided but we need some time to work out those details. If you could allow us some time before you email us with questions, we would greatly appreciate it. We are still in meetings with area officials and staff and we are working for the best options for you. We want to thank our sponsors and participants for believing in us and you can bet we are coming back with an amazing race weekend for you. On a personal note: I know you have trained hard. I coach many athletes for this race and I am really bummed for them and for you that I cannot see the amazing high fives, smiles, and successes next weekend. This is something myself and our staff put our heart and soul into every year. We are all disappointed, but it is part of our journey. As a race director and runner myself, I continue to learn from every life situation and look for the positives. Our staff promises to give you the best events in the future and we will continue to put our best foot forward. Tom Clifford and the NHRMC Wilmington Marathon Staff.
