Are you looking for a good half marathon to run in August? Join me for the 2nd Annual Albany Half Marathon on August 16th.
This 13.1 mile loop course starts and finishes at Timber Linn Park. There will be plenty of parking and it's just off I-5 and easy to find! This is a great beginners course. It's a great Hood to Coast warm up. Also, a quick course for the seasoned runner looking for a PR. Feel free to register as a walker and bring your baby in a stroller and/or dog along for the walk/run! This race will have professional chip timing by Eclectic Edge. All finishers will receive a dri-fit t-shirt and a medal at the finish line!
There will be top ten male/female awards in each age group. Last year a cool medal water bottle was the award.
The course will take you through local farms and have a small incline about mile 6. There is a section of rolling hills. It is a beautiful course and all race proceeds and sponsorship go to Albany schools!
For more information on how to get involved with this race contact Bryce Bennett at (541) 730-0413 or bryce.bennett@albany.k12.or.us
You will be want to know: water stations will be along the course about every two miles. You will also find two nutrition stations and a porta potty at mile 6.5.
You can come park as early at 5:30 am. Pick up race packets as early at 6:00 am. If your walking, your start time is 7:00 am and for runners, 8:00 am. After the race, awards will be handed out at 10:30 am.
Last year I ran this and struggled a bit when I got to the rolling hills. I plan on going back this year to PR the course. I hope to see you there supporting the Albany Schools!
