The Tar River Running Company is proud to announce that the Roanoke Canal Half Marathon and 8k is now official open for registration. The Tar River Running Company is run by Michael Forrester. Michael is the President of the Rocky Mount Endurance Club, and has been instrumental in bringing you events like: the Medoc Trail Races, the Ford's Colony 5k and 10k, and the Sweetheart 5k. We believe in providing runners with "big-race" quality but with "small-race" charm. March is an exciting race month for North Carolina, and there are lots of options to choose from. We hope the you will decide to join us for the inaugural Roanoke Canal Half Marathon.
SPECIAL SALE! To help get things started, the first 20 people who register for the half marathon can sign up for only $30! The only condition is we want you to tell friends, and help spread the word. We save on advertising so we can put more back into the race experience. Word-of-mouth has helped us to sell out Medoc and Ford's Colony, and we want to see that trend continue.
All signed up.

does anyone know if this race will be hilly? looking for my first 1/2 and don't want to bite off more than I can chew---btw--I love keeping up with you guys and wish you all the best next weekend---you inspire me!! Angela
ReplyDeleteAngela, this course is not hilly at all. Becuase it runs beside the canal and the river the ground stays pretty level. There are are few points where of "quick dips", but not what I would call a hill.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
