2023 Hermes Half a Half Marathon...

_ The 2023 Hermes Half a Half Marathon: 

We are thrilled to bring back the Hermes Half a Half Marathon for it's second year along the scenic Emerald Necklace Marina.

The 6.55 mile course on the beautiful Rocky River Reservation will be a speedy out and back route on pavement and considered a fantastic "training race" for the Hermes Cleveland 10-Miler in April.

There will even be an incentive to "pick up the pace" on the way back.

Date: Saturday, March 25, 2023

Start Time: 8:00AM 

Distance: 6.55 Miles - half a half marathon

Location: Emerald Necklace Marina

1500 Cleveland Metropark Dr. Lakewood, OH 44107

March 1 - Race Day $45

What you Get: A custom Hermes Half a Half Marathon finisher medal, a race mug or long sleeve race shirt, post race snacks and refreshments, split point tracking and results, searchable race photos and the opportunity to earn an extra bonus prizes & awards throughout!

Special Awards will be given to the following categories:

Fastest overall male/female to split point mark - 3.27 miles

Fastest overall male/female finisher

Largest overall  "negative split" for male and female

Not in contention for speedy award but want extra motivation to "pick up the pace"? 

Any participant who runs a negative split will be entered into win special prizes after the race. A negative split is when a participant runs faster the 2nd half (3.27 miles) of the race than the first.

How do you know if I ran a faster 2nd half than first?

A split-point timing mat will be placed at the half way mark for runners to be tracked on the front & back half of the race - accurate live results will be produced after each runner has finished.
