Course Limits
As a courtesy to the communities impacted by the races and the volunteers who serve, there is a 3 hour limit for the Half Marathon. To finish within this time limit, runners must maintain a pace of approximately 13:44 minutes per mile.
Along the Half Marathon race course, roads will reopen to traffic and water/aid stations will close down as the race moves beyond a 13:44 minute per mile pace. Runners running beyond Course Time Limits are doing so at their own risk. Please be prepared and carry fluids and energy gel throughout the race if pace will be slower than 13:44 minute mile.
Race staff will begin breaking down the finish line after course limits. Runners who finish after limits and are not able to collect a finisher medal on site may contact the race office within 48 hours of the event.

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.
