Syracuse Half Marathon

The Syracuse Half Marathon is widely known as one of the best-organized and most professionally produced half marathons in the country. Founded in 2012, it brings the feel of a major big-city race to the regional level, with the kind of polish that runners usually expect only from much larger events.

The event quickly became extremely popular because of the experience it gives runners. For people training for a first half marathon, or chasing a personal best on a well-run course, it has become a regular stop on the Central New York racing calendar.
