2021 Coast Guard Marathon
The 2021 Coast Guard Run (now rebranded as Coast Guard Marathon,) including a Half Marathon and 5K, is a legacy event not only for Elizabeth City but the entire U.S. Coast Guard as the first and only sanctioned road race for the USCG. Delayed twice due to COVID-19 restrictions, we made the thoughtful and difficult decision to go virtual for 2021. Officially launching in January 2021, the virtual event was “held” on March 4. The 2021 virtual Coast Guard Run exceeded expectations with over 11,000 participants running with us from all 50 states and spanning 4 continents! Raising brand awareness for this new event and additionally putting Elizabeth City on the national map as a future place to visit sets the stage for continued growth to our destination, from the in-person 2022 CGM event to weekend getaways and more.
