Runner's World Half Marathon

Ashley Read, Neighbor

We saved the longest for last! The Runner's World Half-Marathon & Running Festival features its half marathon Sunday, October 20th. This Challenging 13.1-mile course winds through Bethlehem's historic neighborhoods, bringing participants past some of the town's original settlements, two college campuses, and the former Bethlehem Steel Complex.

The half marathon course's five hills, Webster Street, City Hall, Schoenersville Hill, Illicks Mill Hill, and the New Street Hill, make for a challenging race to enjoy with thousands of other runners. There will be bathroom facilities and water stops every two miles, as well as a bag check available to racers.

To be a part of this event, register online at the Runner's World website.

Packet pickup and the start of the race are located at:
ArtsQuest at Steelstacks campus
101 Founders Way
Bethlehem, PA 18015
