Parks Half Marathon

2021 & COVID-19 UPDATE

Our intention is to hold the 2021 Parks Half Marathon.  However, we must be able to secure health, park and road permits to do so, which is extremely challenging due to COVID-19. Please be aware that until all final permits are in hand, race details are subject to change or cancellation depending on county recommendations surrounding the pandemic. Please keep in mind that the information contained on this website is currently only a "best guess" scenario.  As you know, gathering limitations and general COVID-related restrictions are being updated frequently.  We will keep on top of these changing guidlines and update our race plan as necessary.  We thank you in advance for your patience as we iron out the details for our 2021 event.

*** As of today, we do not plan to host the 2021 Parks Relay due to its complicated logistics.  However, it may be considered should COVID-19 restrictions and demand make it feasible.  A final decision will be made by July.  Please note that once registered for the half marathon, participants may not switch to the relay. Thank you for your understanding.

Registration Opens June 1st!
