About

Gateway to the Smokies Half Marathon is held on June 19, 2027, in Waynesville, Haywood County, North Carolina, at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains. Two distances are offered: the half marathon (13.1 mi) and a 16 km (10 mi), through the town's streets. Start times are not listed in our records.

Mountain towns rarely offer flat road courses, and Waynesville sits above 2,600 feet in country that rises in every direction. Treat the ten-miler as the more forgiving option if you have not raced on hills before, and on either distance run the climbs at an effort you could sustain for an hour rather than at your target pace.
