USRA Half Marathon Series
The USRA Half Marathon Series is an 15-City Nationwide Half Marathon Series in mid-to-small size markets. Each Series event partners with the Convention & Visitors Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and/or Municipality in that community to conduct a Half Marathon, 5K, Fun and Runner’s Expo/Packet Pickup. All events create a festive, fun atmosphere with live music, post race party and quality shirts (tech to Half Marathoners), medals (to Half Marathon finishers) and disposable chip timing among its many amenities. A “points” system will be introduced soon to encourage runners to participate in multiple series events.
