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 ... you decide to go all the way, 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 26.2 mile run? Now with a
half-marathon, an easy sightseeing run the day before and
after the race are 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 run 327.5 miles and covered 25 states-
it's a huge accomplishment!
People will exclaim ... "You're an athletic machine!"
To begin, you register. You've done this a thousand times before.
Name, email... wait for something to show up in your inbox, then
click to validate the account.
Once you're a member, you can post messages and record races. To
login, you'll use a nickname and a password. The login box will
look something like the one to the left. (You don't need to
login in to read stories or find races. You only need to
use this if you want to post information.)
One of the things you'll do in Half2Run is trip planning. You
have 25 races to run, that means you'll need to pick some states
and start booking some flights. To find races, you'll select from
a navigation menu that will look something like this.
This will display a map of the US...And you get to wear cool stuff like this!

How it works
It's really pretty simple. Half2Run is a community-based competition.
What this means, is that in order to compete, you'll need to
create an account. We do this for two reasons: 1.) We need to
know who you are so we can send you clever gimmicks like hats,
t-shirts and Half2Run bottle openers. 2.) We don't want to police
what you post on the site, so it's our hope that knowing each
member's identity, people are more likely to be polite?
But what if you don't know what state you want to visit? Maybe you're
like most people and have certain weekends when you're available to
get the heck outta town. In this case, you would select a calendar
view so you could see all races available on a given
date.
We're not trying to be the end-all race database that tells everything about a race. That's better left to the website of the actual race. We provide just enough info so you're aware of it. One of the rules of Half2Run is that each half marathon must at least have a website, so we post that for you to do your own research! Here's what race posting might look like.
After you've completed a race, you would come back here, find the race
just like you did when you planned the trip. However, because the race
date is now in the past, you will be presented with a place to enter a
comment and your finish time. (of course, you would need to be logged
in to do this)
Still not convinced? Feel free to Visit NOW and
just see how much fun you could be having!
