Half Marathon

A half marathon is a long-distance running race covering 13.1 miles (21.097 kilometers), exactly half the distance of a full marathon. It is a popular race for amateur and professional runners alike, serving as a challenging goal that tests endurance, speed, and stamina. Participants often train for months to prepare, and the event typically takes place on road courses in cities or scenic areas. Completing a half marathon is a significant achievement, symbolizing dedication and physical fitness, and is often used as a stepping stone toward running a full marathon.
