Welcome to the place where, for once, nobody will ask you to go the whole nine yards... but we'll be waiting for you at the end of 13.1 miles.
We are a community of people who believe half is the right way to go. Half the marathon, half the effort, half the states. Yes, that's right. The goal of our members is to run 25 half marathons in 25 states. And while working on that, shamelessly brag about it right in your face.
Why only half the states and why only half marathons?
Why not run 50 states? We've got plenty of reasons.
Think of all the places you've never dreamed of going to and never wanted to. By committing to only half the states, you can find 25 pretty nice places you want to visit. But ... if you decide to run in all 50 states, we'll be there to cheer you on!
With all the wonderful places to see, do you really want to spend all your time preparing for a 26.2 mile run? Now with a half marathon, an easy sightseeing run the day before and after the race is not out of the question. In fact, it might just be what the doctor ordered. Race half as far, run twice as much!
On race day, you'll be happy to see the finish line after 13.1 miles. The Party Can Start Early!!
If that's not enough - think of all the little things. You're done in half the time, shoes last twice as long; training takes half the time and if you're running in crummy weather - you're in it for half as long.
Don't get us wrong! 13.1 miles is a serious distance- less than 1% of the population can go that far! By the time you finish this, you'll have raced 327.5 miles and covered 25 states - it's a huge accomplishment!
People will exclaim ... "You're an athletic machine!"
Why should I do it?
