Half Marathon
This hilly, waterfront half marathon returns for its 17th year! The race begins at 7:30 a.m. at the north end of the Olio Road bridge across Geist Reservoir, and heads south to traverse through waterfront neighborhoods. Participants will cross the 96th Street bridge heading west to pass the Geist Marina. The course continues along Fall Creek Road with tree-covered trails and one last foot bridge before heading north and northeast through the Hamilton Proper neighborhood and golf course. Runners then head south along Brooks School Road to retrace their steps across the water on the 96th Street bridge to a final push north on Olio Bridge to their photo finish! This beautiful and challenging course features multiple bridges across the water, stunning views of Geist Reservoir, and great community support from Geist neighborhoods. The Half Marathon course is USATF (United States of America Track & Field) Certified and Sanctioned.
