The Reservoir Run Races Half Marathon
Incl. $5.20 Fee & Half Marathon Long Sleeve Jersey
Sun 13th October 2024 (8:30AM EDT)
$75.20
CLOSEDThe Half Marathon Course is a beautiful run, but has been changed due to bridge reconstruction along the Saugatuck Reservoir. IT NOW RUNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAN THE LAST 12 YEARS- That looooong mile 12 uphill is now downhill in mile 2. Other parts of the course had to be changed for this year because of major bridge construction and milling/repaving on the roads near the reservoir. It has been a REAL long (two months) and tough challenge to design 13.1 miles, keep it safe and get police approval. Overall M&F champions win awards (3 Deep), Master, Grand Master, and Great Grand Master (M&F) as well as 3 deep in 10 year age groups 14 and older. There is additional information available and pictures from previous years at https://westonkiwanis.org/ -
