Overview

The Harrisonburg Half Marathon offers a USATF-certified course spanning 13.1 miles, showcasing a delightful and secure route along the newly constructed Friendly City Trail. Participants will traverse a fully paved path that winds through the city’s meticulously maintained parks, pristine golf course trails, and welcoming neighborhoods. Every runner is treated to premium swag, including a moisture-wicking shirt, along with exceptional race support throughout the event.

Whether you’re embarking on your inaugural half marathon journey or striving for a personal best in preparation for a fall marathon, the Harrisonburg Half Marathon invites you to partake in an invigorating race set amidst a lively community ambiance. To aid participants in their training endeavors, a 14-week training program is available, catering to both novice and seasoned runners, guided by the expertise of Excel Rocktown Running.

Upon crossing the finish line, runners can look forward to indulging in the Finish Line Beer & Cider Garden, generously presented by Pale Fire Brewing, Brothers Craft Brewing, and Sage Bird Cider Works, offering a refreshing post-race reward.
