Event Description

Get ready to run (or walk) the first ever Coast Guard Half Marathon or Guardians of the Atlantic 5K!  With safety in mind, this inaugural event is going virtual, so run your race wherever you choose – on a treadmill, in a park, on a local track, or on your usual jogging route. Whether you finish the half marathon or 5k on March 6, 2021 or run a half-mile each day until you reach the virtual finish line is up to you!

All runners receive a swag package including a custom bib, marathon 100% cotton t-shirt and interactive finisher’s medal for just $45.

Until now, the United States Coast Guard was the only branch of the U.S. military without an official foot race. As the host of the event, Visit Elizabeth City is excited to celebrate our Coastie community and host this official event for Coast Guard members, family, and supporters across the country.
