Tactic Runs Raleigh
We are headed down south to the land of the pines!
Dust your runners off, Tactic is coming to Raleigh, North Carolina for the City of Oaks Marathon weekend, November 1st-3rd.
We ran Philly, then we ran Alex’s hometown race in Calgary, and now we are heading to Meredith’s stomping grounds in the Old North State.
The City of Oaks marathon has distances ranging from 5km all the way up to the full marathon distance, so there is an option for everyone!

AirBnB Neighborhoods:
The Glenwood South Neighborhood will be closest to the start line. This is an area known for restaurants, shopping, and a big part of the social scene in Raleigh. While it can be loud, there are also plenty of quiet spots in this area too.
Areas adjacent to Glenwood South include Morgan Street, Hillsborough Street, Smoky Hollow, Oakwood, Five Points, and Glenwood Brooklyn – all of which have their own unique history and vibe and still very easily accessible from the capital district of downtown.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in November and if you are planning to join us again after the Calgary race this May, we can pretty much guarantee the weather will be at least a little less volatile! Raleigh is a really great city and I’m looking forward to showing it off.
With Gratitude,
Meredith and Alex
