One of our running friends who has caught the longer
distance running bug and wants to run a Fall Half Marathon.
While I am on exercise hiatus for a week or so, I thought I
would do a little research and lay out some options in a 2015 resource guide
so-to-speak.
If you have run one of these before, please feel free
to comment and share review of that event.
And if you know you are running one,
feel free to share that too.
Finally, if you know of a half that is not listed that occurs between
October – December, share that too and I will add it into this post.
