The Cannonball Marathon

The Cannonball Running Festival in Greensboro, North Carolina, is a four-distance running celebration staged along the scenic A&Y Greenway and Country Park, with all races starting and finishing at Country Park. Distances include the marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K, plus a Kids Dash and a Double Barrel Challenge that lets runners combine two events over the weekend. The festival atmosphere features local craft breweries on Saturday and two included beers for participants, with beer-proceeds supporting Brenner Children’s Hospital.

Registrants receive a custom finisher medal and a long-sleeve shirt, with early registration guaranteeing a shirt, plus snacks and a post-race meal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
