About the Maple City Half Marathon & 5K
The course makes a single loop through the center of town, passing through the older streets and architecture of a small city. It is certified, so the timing is legitimate if you are chasing a qualifying standard. The pace requirement is real: runners who fall behind a certain threshold will be moved to the sidewalks, so it rewards some preparation.
The course is still being finalized due to bridge construction, so the exact route may differ from what past participants remember. Following the race's Facebook page is the best way to stay current on changes before race day.
