Featuring an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at La Porte’s Soldiers Memorial Park, the Tour de La Porte Half Marathon course takes runners along paved city streets and rolling country roads, with only very gradual changes in elevation between the start and the half-way point of the race. The half marathon, 10K and 5K races were run for the first time in 2011, and the race also features a cycling event that has helped raise money for patients fighting cancer since 2002.
