About the Mangum Marathon
The Mangum Marathon is a small January road race that starts at a spot locals call the Dog Pen, in rural Richmond County outside Ellerbe. It has a seven-hour time limit and is chip timed.
Support is deliberately thin, so runners should carry their own water and fuel. Overall winners receive engraved tumblers and every finisher gets a medal.
