For our 2026 race, you have three options to enjoy our event:
* A LIVE, IN-PERSON EVENT WITH WAVES EVERY 5 MINUTES BASED ON YOUR REGISTRATION LEVEL
* A VIRTUAL EVENT ON OUR OFFICIAL COURSE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE-IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THE RESULTS FOR YOUR RUN, PLEASE DO SO THE MORNING OF THE FEB. 22ND BY 9AM
* A VIRTUAL, MAKE-YOUR-OWN COURSE-IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENTER THE RESULTS FOR YOUR RUN, PLEASE DO SO THE MORNING OF THE FEB. 22ND BY 9AM
In-person participants (with data submitted via RunJoy, etc.) are eligible for top male and female finisher awards.

Register here now!
Participants in the virtual event will receive instructions on how to submit virtual times, but will not be eligible for prizes.
Registration for in-person and virtual race is just $45 (with $1.85 convenience fee). Participants may choose from a long-sleeved, technical or short-sleeved, poly-cotton blend shirt upon registration, but be sure to register early-limited sizes and styles have been pre-ordered, so be sure to register early. Please note: For those participating in the virtual make-your-own course race, there will be a $10 shipping fee for those wanting a shirt.
Sponsors are a critical partner in this event and allow us to continue our financial support of our athletic programs in Durham. Proceeds from the 2026 run will benefit student athletic teams at both Durham Intermediate School and Durham High School. Durham Sports Boosters is currently seeking funds to update the scoreboard and PA systems and the DHS Coliseum, upgrade equipment for boys and girls teams at both DHS and DIS, and implement improvements to the high school gym trophy cases. Thanks to our racers and generous sponsors, over $35,000 was spent in 2025 on our many athletic programs. We were able to purchase updated uniforms for DHS Cheer, Volleyball, Ski/Snowboard, and DIS basketball, equipment for Softball, Golf, Track and Field, and the Swim Team. Durham Sports Boosters also collaborated with Durham Park & Recreation to update the pool cover, and with the Durham Gala and Durham Volunteer Firefighters to purchase two new scoreboards for the DHS Gym. We have been busy, and it is because of supporters like you! Please click the donation tab here to see how you can support our athletes.
You can become a part of our 2026 sponsorship team for this great event through this registration portal for as low as $100. In addition to knowing you have supported a great cause for our athletes, you will also receive wonderful advertising for your company. _THE RACE IS ON!_
