Course Design & Certification
A great course can make all the difference in having a successful event. Junction 311 owns and manages many events and we know what athletes like. We also know how to design and measure an accurate course to maximize safety while keeping your police costs as low as possible.. For an extra level of assurance, we can certify the course for you.

The Delta variant of COVID-19 is quickly spreading throughout our communities, primarily through unvaccinated and some vaccinated people. Runner, volunteer and spectator safety has always been our top priority. Race weekend safety precautions include the following:
- Guilford County currently mandates face coverings while indoors. Masks will be mandated at packet pickup while indoors while this mandate is in effect. We will request those that are unvaccinated to wear their masks while outdoors.
- There will be numerous hand sanitizer stations at packet pick up and on race day.
- In line with CDC guidelines, masks are optional on race day given the outdoor nature of this event. Face coverings and practicing social distancing are highly recommended for anyone who has not been fully vaccinated or would like to take additional safety precautions. Face coverings will be made available to all participants at the start line on race day.
- Water stops will be handled in the traditional way with volunteers wearing gloves as they pass out water to runners; if you do not feel comfortable with this, please bring your own water bottle.
- We trust that anyone experiencing any Covid symptoms, or who has been recently exposed to the virus, will choose to go virtual or defer their race registration. We are happy to help you run your best race in your best health!
Cannonball Marathon, Half Marathon & 5k – **NEW DATE – October 22 & 23, 2021
Greensboro, NC
The Cannonball is one of the longest-running endurance events in North Carolina, but we have something brand new in 2021, the “DOUBLE BARREL” challenge! The 5K moves to Friday evening so you can run the 5K AND either the half or full on Saturday. Extra medals and schwag!
We have seen blazing fast times in previous years for the half, but don’t be fooled the course isn’t a walk in the park. The race is also perfect for the beginner runner because of the gorgeous scenery. The backdrop for the race is Country Park and the beautiful north Greensboro countryside. Country Park, with the Greensboro Science Center next door, is a great place for the family to hang out listen to our live band while you run.

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Marathon & Relay – February 13, 2022
Greensboro, NC
What… a marathon in February. Don’t fret you get to run it with your buddies. Get 3, 4,5 or more friends together because this race is all about teams. The marathon is 16 laps. Each person on the team will run 4 laps or approximately 6.5 miles. You get to go to work on Monday and tell everyone you ran a marathon (just leave out it was a relay). Hey if you are crazy enough to do this race all by yourself we won’t stop you. The course is certified so it is a Boston Qualifier. If you’re a loner and don’t have 3 friends then convince your cousin to do it with you because we have a 2 person division as well. And, for those with lots of friends, we have a 5-8 person teams…so there is something for everyone!
