The Augusta Sports Council is proud to be the local host organization for the Augusta Half Marathon, 10K & 5K! The 19th annual event serves as the non-profit's primary FUNDRAISING event for their annual G.A.M.E.S. Scholarship fund which is awarded to selected graduating high school student athletes each May. The ASC is a 501c(3) organization focuses on enriching the quality of life and economic well-being for the Augusta metropolitan area by supporting and attracting sporting activities.

These events have attracted 450,000+ athletes to compete in Augusta, generating more than $400 million in economic impact to the Augusta community. Additionally, the Augusta Sports Council is also the home of the Ray Guy Award which is given to the top College Punter of the Year. Named after "the greatest punter of all time," Ray Guy, the award is presented annually during The Home Depot College Football Awards, broadcast live on ESPN.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
