REGISTRATION WAITLIST IS NOW OPEN!

The Cary Greenways Half-marathon has reached the participant cap and registration for all in-person races is now closed but a waitlist has opened for anyone interested in potentially participating in the race. 

Registration is still open for all virtual races. 

Here's what you need to know about the in-person race waitlists:

  • Each race distance (5K, 10K, and 13.1) has a separate waitlist. It does not cost anything to join a waitlist and you are welcome to join the waitlist for any and all race distances you are interested in participating in. (you can join the waitlist for each race distance if you want!)
  • As spots on each each waitlist open up the next person on the list will receive an automated email notification that they are welcome to register for that specific waitlist's race distance. (eg. If you join the 5K waitlist you will only be able to sign up for the 5K race)
  • If you receive the email notification that you can sign up for the race you will have 24 hours to complete your registration. After 24 hours your registration opportunity will expire and the next person on the list will be notified and given the chance to sign up. 
  • Participants signing up off the waitlists are still guaranteed all the swag and giveaways included with registration. 
NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE!
