The idea for our race comes from family members running the 13.1 mile course from Springfield to Yellow Springs to train for a full-marathon in which they would be raising money to help cover the cost of cancer treatment for Mike Maloney, father of Co-Director Alex Maloney. The first official Happy Half Marathon was held in 2012. Our race brings together 200+ runners from all over to support our cause and give them a chance to achieve their fitness goals.
The course begins at Springfield High School, runs along the Miami Valley Scenic Bike Trail, and ends in beautiful Yellow Springs. This route, open for four hours, is shaded and has a negative grade, making a comfortable run for everyone, whether you are an experienced runner, or this is your first go at a half marathon.
For 2019, we are offering a variety of sponsorship opportunities that will make a good fit for any company or organization. Help us make this the best Happy Half Marathon yet!
