Ellerbe, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Ellerbe Marathon and Half Marathon". The Ellerbe Marathon first ran in 1992. Its origin dates to the fall of 1991 as Mark Long and Doug Dawkins were returning from the Greensboro Marathon. At that time there were but a few marathons in North Carolina. By the time the pair had reached Richmond County on Highway 220 they had mostly agreed on the idea of working together to create a local marathon. That first race was held April 12, 1992 with 41 entrants and 39 finishers. There was no online entry. No website. All those interested had to request a paper entry form be mailed to them and return it with a check to enter. Aid stations had no food, just water and Gatorade. Runners had to finish the race to get a t-shirt. There were no medals. All “Old School.” There was a period in the 1990s when The Ellerbe Marathon and The Grandfather Mountain Marathon were the only two marathons in North Carolina. The Ellerbe Marathon has survived many challenges and changes since that first year. We have survived changes in hosts, locations, and race directors. We survived Covid. But the Ellerbe Marathon has not missed a year since that first event in 1992, and we are now the oldest continuously held marathon in North Carolina. We followed the trend and now present t-shirts before the race. We have nice pottery wine cups for all who finish. And we have a nice custom medal. We have snacks at the aid stations and a post-race meal just like all the others. We have no sponsors we have to oblige. The only ones we have to please are our runners. We still have that “Old School” feel and hope to keep it. We don't have hundreds of entrants. But we have a good crowd every year, and we all have fun. www.theboogieraces.com/ellerbe.html
