HM (Half Marathon)

A Half Marathon (HM) is a long-distance running race covering 13.1 miles (21.097 kilometers), which is exactly half the distance of a full marathon. It is a popular event for runners looking to challenge themselves without the extensive training required for a full marathon. Participants often train for several months to build endurance and improve speed. The race tests overall fitness, stamina, and mental toughness, attracting both experienced athletes and recreational runners. Half marathons are held worldwide, often as part of charity events or city races, offering a rewarding achievement for those completing the distance.
