Jump off Rock Half Marathon & 10k

The 3rd Annual Jump off Rock Half Marathon & 10k presented by Hunter Subaru and Pardee UNC Health Care, takes place in Hendersonville, NC on Saturday, May 13, 2023.

An endurance running event like none other, the Annual Jump Off Rock Half Marathon presented by Hunter Subaru, is one of the fastest half marathon races in the south and runs “downhill to downtown.” The Half has been named the most scenic downhill half marathon in the Southeast.

The point-to-point, half marathon begins at Jump off Rock, a national landmark and the Town of Laurel Park’s highest peak, and finishes in the heart of downtown Hendersonville on Main Street. This gently downhill and scenic 13.1 mile course is not only fast, it also has breathtaking views.

10k runners start their race at the base of the Town of Laurel Park at the Hendersonville Family YMCA. They join in on the half marathon route at about the half-way point with half marathoners. The 10k route is moderately flat with a couple gentle rollers.

10k Cash prizes for the overall top three, male/female winners!

Both races finish at the same location in Historic Downtown Hendersonville on Main Street.
