For runners, looking ahead to the best summer half-marathons in the United States, we’ve got a list that’s a great jumping off point. And just for fun, we’re throwing in some spring half-marathons too because it’s all about when you start your training and maybe that tune up race.
There’s nothing quite like those first weeks when the weather starts to feel warm with the promise of the spring to come, and summer to follow soon.
The ice is melting, the snow is hopefully a thing of the past, and even chilly winds seems to smell a little sweeter after a long winter stuck indoors. So of course that has your wheels turning and your desire to run farther means it’s time for a race to test those legs!!
11 Best Summer Half Marathons in the US
Whether you’re looking for something unique, something gorgeous or something huge with crowds we have got you covered. Now like we said this list is going to cover some spring into summer because a lot of summer half marathons start having names like “The Death March” and we don’t so much consider that fun as hot and icky.
Remember a good half marathon plan is usually 12-16 weeks! We have a bunch of them free on the site whether you need to go from walking a half marathon to aiming for that sub two half marathon.
