Cape Fear Marathon Hits Bald Head Island | Wilmington News
Description
Get ready for a race that blends grit, coastal beauty, and community spirit—Bald Head Island’s third annual Cape Fear Marathon & Half Marathon hits October 18th, starting at the iconic Old Baldy Lighthouse. Runners from 20+ states (mostly NC locals) compete on scenic island roads and beachfront, with capped spots (180 total) and registration closing Oct 10th. Full marathoners have 7 hours, half-marathoners 4 hours to finish near the marina’s Timber Bridge. Three aid stations keep you fueled, while proceeds support the Bald Head Island Conservancy—with AdventureCORPS already raising over $165K since 2014. Public safety teams are on hand too. It’s not just a race—it’s a weekend of endurance, charm, and giving back.
