Half Marathon versenyek Shillington közelében

The Unite For HER Run/Walk closes the streets of West Chester, Pennsylvania, for the town’s largest run/walk. The annual event features an in-person 5K run/walk and a 2K walk, with a Kids Dash included for families. The event raises support for people affected by breast and ovarian cancers across the country. Runners and walkers not in West Chester can join through virtual 5K, 2K, and half-marathon options nationwide.

At End of the Road in Waterfall, Pennsylvania, runners use the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike instead of a typical road course. The series takes place in October and includes a Half Marathon and a One Tunnel 4 Miler, with a two-day challenge for those racing both events. The appeal is straightforward and unusual: extended sections of vacant highway, dark turnpike tunnels, and autumn foliage on the ridges surrounding the old road. The half marathon covers approximately five miles within Sidling Hill and Ray's Hill Tunnels, two lengthy tunnels where participants use headlamps and glow sticks because of the absence of artificial lighting. Beyond the tunnels, the course follows quiet, old pavement and undulating rural roads on a highway bypassed decades ago and left without vehicle traffic for almost fifty years. The 4 Miler offers newer runners, walkers, and those progressing from a 5K a shorter option to experience the abandoned tunnel environment without completing 13.1 miles.

The Leftovers Run is a free post-Thanksgiving fun run in Corpus Christi, offering 5K and 10K distances starting from Water's Edge Park. State Representative Todd Hunter sponsors this easy holiday-weekend race, allowing local runners to participate without an entry fee. The course follows the Corpus Christi bayfront, providing a flat, coastal route near the water. The 5K features overall male and female awards, masters awards, and five-year age-group awards. The 10K uses ten-year age groups. Bib pickup is available at Fleet Feet the day before the race and on race morning at the event.
