Details
With a fast course that takes runners over gentle hills through
Auburn's scenic bicycle trails and paths, the Auburn Classic Half
Marathon is part of the Alabama State Half Marathon Championship and is
run to benefit the American Cancer Society. Just over 120 runners came
out to run the race at its 2008 running, on an out-and-back course that
starts and finishes at Auburn's Moore's Mill Fitness Center and takes
runners out past Chewalca State Park and to the Auburn Links Golf
Course and back.
The event
also features what race organizers call the Children's Half Marathon,
open to any interested kids who would like to complete a half-marathon
over a period of many weeks. Kids are encouraged to start in the fall
and run or walk about one mile per week. On the day of the race, the
children who participate will run the last 0.6 miles of the half with
that day's runners and finish at the main finish line.
