About the BRB - Back Roads Bound Half Marathon
The course runs on a mix of paved and dirt back roads outside White Lake, which gives it a different feel from a typical road race. The terrain shifts under your feet, the surroundings are open, and the route starts and finishes at Hawley Park, behind the local police department. Several distance options mean you can run as much or as little as suits you that morning.
Packet pickup is available at a local running store in Waterford on the couple of evenings before the race, during regular store hours, with pickup at the Hawley Park pavilion on race morning as well. Parking and the start area are right at the park, so there is not much to navigate once you arrive.

The BRB - Back Roads Bound Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
