Pennsylvania > Just A Short Run Half Marathon, 30K, 5K

Event
Details
You'll need to bundle up for the Just A Short Run Half Marathon
& Relay races, as the early spring weather can get quite cold
in this western Pennsylvania town, in Pittsburgh's northern suburbs.
That doesn't seem any deterrent for the more than 1,700 runners,
walkers and relay participants who
took part in the 2009 running of the race, which includes a half
marathon for runners and walkers, a 5K for runners and walkers, a 30K
individual run and a half marathon relay.
It isn't hard to see why, as the course takes participants on a scenic
tour of Allison Park's North Park Golf Course, along a mix of gentle,
rolling hills and flat terrain, all across entirely paved
surfaces throughout the race. The event includes several races -- in
addition to the half-marathon, there's a half-marathon relay, a 30K
race, and a 5K run/walk, giving potential participants plenty of
options for competing or taking it easy while taking in the scenery.
The starting and finish lines for all races are at the North Park
boathouse, where you also may register on the day of the race if you
haven't registered online or at Allison Park's Elite Runners &
Walkers store. All four events also share the same starting time --
8:00 AM -- and are limited to 4 hours.
