Little River Canyon Half Marathon

Starting at 8:00 a.m. sharp, this race kicks off (and finishes) at Little River Canyon Center and follows the Little River Canyon National Preserve for the first 5 miles or so. Once runners get through the initial rim of the canyon, they’ll embark through gentle farmland for the remainder of the race where it’s largely flat pavement. At miles 6 and 8 upon leaving an obscure but beautifully interesting natural landmark known as Mushroom Rock, you can expect to be greeted by a couple of special guests to cheer you on, however, we’ll leave that a surprise… The final leg of the race will be spent journeying off the National Preserve on your way back toward Little River Canyon Center, the finish line. Once you cross the finish line, runners can expect a finisher’s medal, and of course, some celebratory post-race food that’s known to be quite the gob-smacker. As a smaller non-broadcasted race, the Little River Canyon Center is one of community, so enjoy it!
