NEW Half-Marathon Course

For 2022, participants in the HALF-MARATHON will get to enjoy an updated course! This is due to recent construction, making it impossible for the race to safely get in/out of Lafayette.

We are excited to provide this new half-marathon route, and hope you find it enjoyable!
