The Scream Half Marathon
Date: Saturday, July 18, 2015 - 8:00 a.m.
Jonas Ridge, North Carolina
The Scream! is a USATF certified half marathon run mainly on the upper half of the Ridge to Bridge Marathon course in the mountains and foothills of western North Carolina. The course is comprised of a 2.5 mile section of paved road at the top, with the remainder following the US Forest Service road through the Pisgah Forest. The elevation profile is best described by the name of the event: 2,000+ feet of screaming descent from Jonas Ridge down to the sleepy ghost town of Mortimer.
Be excited, because if you're prepared, you'll scream down the mountain on your way to your fastest half marathon ever. Be warned, too: 2,000+ feet of all-out descent over just 13.1 miles will take your quads and calves to a place they've never been before.
The Scream! is a unique, downhill marathon that runs through one of the most beautiful sections of the Pisgah National Forest. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Grandfather Mountain Ranger District of the U.S. Forest Service for considering our petition to use the public lands for this event, as well as for their ongoing support of running events in western North Carolina. This Ranger District is a true friend of the running community, to whom we owe our deepest gratitude.
Race Cap
The event is capped at 350 runners and will sell out very quickly.
If you're not among the first 350, we'll set up a wait list from which we'll draw the maximum number of runners. If we cannot accommodate you in 2015 we hope you'll understand and consider trying again in 2016.

You must be 18 years or older to participate in The Scream.
