Huntersville Half
The Huntersville Half is a multi-event road race held in Huntersville, North Carolina in December 2026. The event includes multiple race options and virtual alternatives across two days in early December.
Distances offered include:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- Holiday 5K
- 9.3 Mile Challenge (5K and 10K)
- 16.2 Mile Challenge (5K and Half)
- Virtual Half, Virtual 10K, Virtual 5K, and virtual challenges

Cash prizes totaling $1,500 are awarded by a sponsor. Prize amounts are specified for overall top three finishers in the Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. Age group awards are given for first through third place in each age group and sex. Two timed on-course segments are noted: Hardcore Hill, a timed quarter mile uphill segment, and Sprint to Finish, a timed 100 meter sprint at the final turn.
Ruck division participants must carry a weighted rucksack or backpack with a minimum weight of 10 pounds for women and 20 pounds for men. All finishers receive a medal. Challenge runners who complete both distances and are registered as challenge participants receive a challenge medal after verification.
Apparel guarantees are provided for early registrants: Half Marathon entrants who register by December 1 are guaranteed a fleece hoodie or long sleeve technical shirt in their requested size; similar shirt guarantees apply to 10K and 5K registrants who register by that date, subject to inventory. The event supports the Speed For Need program, which mobilizes volunteers to assist athletes using specialized racing chairs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
