Race Information
It's never too early to start thinking ahead!
Raise your glass and ring in the New Year with us at Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery!
We're starting 2027 the only way we know how, with a race! After you ring in the New Year, take a nap then come out, and join us and RUN (or walk) into the New Year! We're putting on the New Year's Day 5K and Half Marathon at one of the most spectacular venues on the circuit!
We thought it would be appropriate to kiss 2026 goodbye, and are offering the New Year's Day 5K and Half Marathon for just $27 (and that includes a drink)!
We'll have the same great course, music and an awesome Finisher Medal! We'll have shirts as an additional purchase for $25.
We will be starting at 10:00 am at Cape Fear Vineyard & Winery.
If you're not ready to be out and about, join us for the virtual 5K & we will ship you your swag (continental US only; lower 48 states)! Virtual participants will receive a Finisher Medal. Purchase your commemorative NYD 2027 shirt for just $25.
We’ll also be presenting overall and age-group awards for each distance in the usual 5-year categories starting at 10 & under.

**Special notes about courses to help keep you going the correct way.
For events with multiple distances: If a sign isn't marked with a specific distance, it applies to everyone.
Be careful about listening or following other participants...If they're confused or going the wrong way, you will be another person going the wrong way.
Don't follow the pack...follow the signs.
Courses are not complicated, but they do require that participants look for the signage.
Don't make guesses like "this can't be the U-turn, it doesn't feel far enough.
Review the course before the race if your not familiar with the area.
Be warry about wearing earbuds, they have a tendency to distract people when navigating a course.
Use the Racejoy app. It will tell you if you go off course.
Water Stations
We will have Self-Serve water stations approximately every 1.5 miles. If you are wanting to run fast and not stop, you might want to bring your own personal hydration.
