The Experience
The Sizzling Soles Half-marathon, first run in 2025, provides a low-key summer goal for runners. This event, held at Mills School Park in Cary, NC, is designed to keep participants active and prepare them for the fall racing season.
The course begins on a school track before venturing onto local greenways, with half-marathoners completing the route twice. While one review noted the course was not USTAF certified, another highlighted the effective staggered start system used to manage crowding on the greenway. Runners can expect a warm race day, with typical temperatures ranging from 72–88°F.
Finishing the Sizzling Soles Half-marathon earns participants a medal and a drawstring bag. For those seeking an extended challenge, the "Summer Series 26.2" offers a unique opportunity to combine finish times from both Sizzling Soles and Summers Done 13.1 races for a virtual marathon completion.
