“The Middle Half” – one of the most anticipated local race events – returns this weekend. In 9 years, the race has more than tripled in size to become one of the top half marathons in Tennessee, previously winning the Tennessee Parks & Recreation Four Star Program Award.
With the flat, fast course, it’s no wonder that seven state road running records have been broken here.
The 13.1 mile course has you running up and down tree-lined Main Street, past historic Oaklands Mansion, and circling the Downtown Square. After passing Middle Tennessee State University’s Fraternity Row and the official geographic center of Tennessee, finish in style on the track inside MTSU’s Track and Soccer Stadium.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Flat scenic course
Award-winning event
Gender-specific tech shirt
Plenty of free parking
Post-race snacks and celebration
ChampionChip timing
Finisher’s medal
WHERE: Start & Finish Location: MTSU Dean A Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium, 1568 Greenland Dr.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct 13. Packet pick-up begins at 5:30pm, race begins at 7am
