Novant Health Wilmington Marathon

Novant Health Wilmington Marathon is a coastal road-racing weekend in Wilmington, North Carolina, USA, known for its fast, flat, point-to-point courses linking Wrightsville Beach with downtown Wilmington’s riverfront finish. Produced by Proactive Lifestyle Events, the race has grown into a longstanding local tradition since its 2010 launch, blending destination-race scenery with a performance-oriented course profile. The longer races showcase the Wilmington area’s two defining landscapes, the beach and the river, while the weekend format also includes a downtown 5K and a free 1-mile kids run.
