Reasons to Join
The UNC Marathon Team strives to create a supportive environment that enables all of its members to achieve their running goals. Training for a marathon, half marathon, or just starting to build a running habit in college may seem quite daunting. Working together, we overcome the intimidation of these challenges and make previously unthinkable achievements possible.
Some of our members have run either competitively or recreationally prior to joining the UNC Marathon Team. Others have never run a step before! Anyone looking for a new and exciting challenge is more than welcome to join our community. We are here to support you in achieving your running goals!
