Course & Travel Notes

In mid-March, Knightdale typically sees highs around 63°F and lows near 37°F, so plan for cool morning conditions with layers you can shed as the day warms, and bring rain gear since about a third of days in this period experience measurable precipitation. The venue sits at a modest 318 feet elevation, making it accessible for most runners. Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) is conveniently located just 18.2 miles from the race site, and with sunrise at 6:27 AM on race day, you'll have good light well before the 9:00 AM start.
