Returning in March 2026, The Pirate 10 Miler & 4 Miler leads runners through the streets of Greenville, NC, with scenic segments that include the East Carolina University campus, downtown Greenville, and the South Tar Greenway. The 4 Miler kicks off around 7:15 AM, followed by the 10 Miler at 7:45 AM, with both races sharing a festive finish line atmosphere at ECU’s Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. For those seeking an extra challenge, the Double Down Challenge allows runners to complete both races consecutively, starting the 10 Miler immediately after finishing the 4 Miler. Organized by Capstone Event Group, the event includes chip timing, aid stations, pacers (10 Miler only), themed race shirts, custom finisher medals, and a lively post-race celebration. With generous course cutoffs and a flat, accessible course, the race welcomes runners of all levels and supports community wellness initiatives.
