Effective July 1, 2012, a City permit is required for bicycle races, foot races, organized walking, wheelchair racing, rollerblading, marathons, triathlons, and jogging events when any portion of the event occurs on a public street, trail, greenway or sidewalk not held entirely within a New Hanover County Park or on privately maintained roads.
The City's Race Permitting office will work with event organizers to obtain appropriate permits, uphold Race/Organized Walk Policy guidelines and serve as a liaison in the coordination of City support services necessary for the event.
