WB Marathon is changing course | Events

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The Wrightsville Beach Marathon is changing courses.

Instead of only having three of the 26 miles on the roads of Wrightsville Beach, the Board of Alderman has approved to have more than seven miles of the course on the island.

Race Director Tom Clifford said this change will make this race more desirable for folks from out of town, helping the economy and filling hotels during the weekend of the event.

The race is scheduled for March 17, 2013.
