Neuse River Bridge Run
The Neuse River Bridge Run is a community running event in New Bern, North Carolina, centered at Union Point Park and the Riverfront Convention Center. It offers both in-person and virtual options across multiple distances.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
- 10K
- 5K
- SuperKids Fun Run (1 Mile)
In-person courses include runs over the George Cunningham Bridge. The in-person Half Marathon and 10K also include a run over the Neuse River Bridge. All in-person races finish on East Front Street in front of the Riverfront Convention Center and wind through historic neighborhoods of New Bern.
In-person events are timed using chip-enabled bibs and official timing services provided by Run the East. Chip-enabled bibs and race kits are distributed at race-kit pick-up events at the Riverfront Convention Center. Virtual events are untimed; virtual participants can track results via the RaceJoy app or report times through the event website. Virtual participants receive participation materials and may choose kit pickup or paid shipping.
Net revenue from the events is shared equally among five local non-profit organizations: Craven Community College Foundation, The Filling Station, Duffyfield Phoenix Project, Mediation Center of Eastern Carolina, and Twin River YMCA. Awards for in-person races include overall and age-group medals, and Half Marathon finishers receive a finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
