With that said, there are many middle-of-the-pack athletes who can embrace pain at the same level as the best.

Wrightsville Beach Half Marathon Course Preview
-At the start, due to the race starting early (6:40am), it will still be dark for the first few miles. Even though the roadway is still visible, your watches will not be.

Shamrock Half Marathon Course Preview
-This course is flat and fast. The biggest thing to contend with is the wind which you should minimize through tucking in behind another runner, or better yet group of runners, during the windy sections. Here is the breakdown of the course:
