Hillacious Half Marathon

The race starts at 10 a.m. from the Legion post on Bantam Road. A two-person relay splits the 13.1 miles into legs of roughly six to seven miles, and a timed 4-mile walk uses the same start before looping back.

Runners can add a personalized dog tag honoring a veteran or service member at registration, and finishers get a beer at the end.

The Hillacious Half was created to honor service members, and the course is meant to be hard. Money left after expenses goes into a local fund that helps military personnel and families directly, and the race also collects food and coats for local pantries and shelters.

There is no prize money and no medal. The top man and woman have their names engraved on perpetual trophies kept at Morgan-Weir American Legion Post 27.
