COURSE

Our Half Marathon course is challenging and picturesque as you run through the backcountry of Hamden. The Half Marathon runs on the Rail-Trail for the first 2 miles and the last 2 miles offering a bit of flat, shady ground to enjoy.
Roads are open to traffic, but we have police at intersections as well as volunteers along the course.
