Cary is the best place to live and one reason is that Cary has more than 30 parks and natural areas, more than 90 miles (and growing!) of greenways, seven special use facilities, four world-class sports venues, and nine staffed all-ages program facilities. If you want an active, healthy place to live for your family, Cary is the place for you! Just like Cary Parks & Rec. the Cary Greenways Tour has something for everyone!

Play It Forward: We will be accepting donations to support the Town of Cary Parks & Recreation Scholarship Program for Youth Sports and 100% of the Kids Dash fee will go to support this program too. It is in keeping with the Town of Cary’s philosophy to ensure that all citizens receive equal opportunity to participate in recreation. The Town provides the opportunity for Cary residents to apply for scholarships and/or reduction of fees for Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources’ programs. There are many needs in our community that have been met because of the support of this program.
BUT: have you ever wanted to run a marathon without having to actually run a marathon? With the Greenways Series 26.2 you can do just that when you sign up for both 13.1 races at the Cary Greenways Half-marathon and Cary Greenways Tour. Complete both races and we will combine your finish times to give you a 26.2 finish time with an extra set of awards!
PLUS: you can save 10% on each race when you sign up for both together using the Greenways 26.2 Bundle! You can find the bundle under the main event cards above (click View All Events).
OR: how about an ultra-marathon? Complete all five Fit & Able 13.1 races - a combined total of 65.5 miles! - and again we will combine your finish times for yet another extra set of awards!
All races will have a staggered start beginning at 7:30 AM (in order of distance) and the course closes for all races at 11:00 AM (In-person Race Day Schedule). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.
