Half Marathon preteky v blízkosti Gresham

Už dvanásty ročník tejto pretekovej série ťa zavedie do Barbour Woods a na Haystack Mountain, kde si užiješ náročný, ale krásny zážitok. Na týchto trailových pretekoch budeš mať špeciálny prístup na súkromné cestičky pre náročný half marathon, no sú tam aj možnosti, ktoré prechádzajú cez Beech Hill a vedú okolo historického Killarney Bridge. Priprav sa na pestrú trasu, kde nájdeš single a double track, vozové cesty a rovnú časť po starom železničnom násype. Čaká ťa aj intenzívny single track, ktorý ťa vyvedie až na vrchol ikonickej veže Haystack Mountain Tower v Norfolku, a dole pôjdeš po vozových cestách a cez mokrade, napríklad po Swamp Trail. Je to cupless event a psy na trať nemôžu, ale v cieli si môžeš dať zadarmo pizzu a nápoje od Norbrook Farm Brewery.

This annual event in Portland, Maine, embodies the spirit of "More Than a Marathon," deeply committed to community support. It has a proud tradition of giving back, having raised significant funds for charity since 1997. Runners join a movement that directly impacts local causes, with the Maine Community Bank Maine Marathon recently directing $65,700 to four Maine nonprofits. Participating here means contributing to vital community work, making every step count for a greater purpose.

The Resolution Relay: B.Y.O.B. is a 13.1-mile half marathon relay held in Boring, Oregon. It begins at the Boring Grange at 9:00 AM PST. Participants can form teams of four, three, or two runners, or complete the half marathon individually. For three-person teams, one runner will cover two legs of the course, while the other two runners each complete one leg. Relay participation is open to individuals aged 8 to 100, and the individual half marathon is for those aged 13 to 100. The race embraces the "Bring Your Own Baton" concept, requiring relay teams to supply their own unique baton. An award will be given for the most distinctive baton. Costumes are also a feature of the event, with contests for both relay teams and individual runners. Teams must submit a photograph of themselves in costume on race morning for judging. Prizes are awarded to the top male, female, and mixed relay teams in each size category, as well as to the top male, female, and non-binary individual finishers. Teams of three or four are also responsible for providing one volunteer, thus assisting with event staffing.
