Half Marathon

About the Carrollton Half Marathon

The course starts and finishes at Adamson Square, looping out past Lake Carroll and into the tree-covered, rolling hills of the Carrollton GreenBelt before returning to the square on a flat final stretch. The terrain mixes open road with shaded sections, and spectators are out near the finish to pull runners in.

Packet pickup runs at SoleRoots Running Co. for a couple of days mid-week, then moves to The Depot on Bradley for an expo the evening before. There is limited race-morning pickup at The Amp. The official hotel is a short walk from the start and finish. Post-race, the square hosts music, food, and drinks.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Carrollton Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the Carrollton Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:11:50, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:47:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Carrollton Half Marathon a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 471 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Carrollton Half Marathon?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:06:27 while the median finisher took 2:11:50. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
