From the Organizer
The Hops Half is a one-of-a-kind half marathon in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, bringing together the local running community for a memorable race centered around connection, purpose, and a post-run celebration. Set for October 24, 2026, this 13.1-mile event blends scenic routes with a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere, all while supporting the Child Advocacy Center of Rutherford County. Built on the belief that every runner has a story, the Hops Half embraces its tagline, “Miles with Meaning,” encouraging participants to run not just for a finish time, but for a cause that gives back to the community. Please note this will be a 3.5 hr cut off run. This is to ensure all runners are safely back before the Hops Springs festival starts.
