Bethel Half Marathon + 5k – October 14, 2017 – Waynesville NC
This is a popular Half Marathon in Western North Carolina for several reasons. First, much of the course is pleasant, mildly rolling rural roads. There are no ‘crazy’ hills and the most significant hill is encountered early in the race. Second, the event is supported by some of the friendliest volunteers you’ll find. Third, the legendary post-race food, included a variety of homemade soups. Fourth, the half marathon is just $40.
