About the North Park Half Marathon

The course starts at the Boathouse and runs a paved road around the lake, then heads out and back before looping again. It is an honest half marathon on open park roads, flat enough along the water but with enough turns and retracing to keep you honest. Road shoes are the right call. The park itself is wide and calm, the kind of place locals run year-round.

Early packet pickup is at a coffee house in Gibsonia, and race morning registration is available online. The start is on Tennis Court Road near the pickleball courts. Aid stations dot the course with water, sports drink, fruit snacks, and granola bars. After the race, refreshments are out, and awards are handed to finishers as they come in rather than held for a ceremony.

Common Questions About the North Park Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the North Park Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:03:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:44:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the North Park Half Marathon a good first 13.1 Miles?

With 992 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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 North Park Half Marathon?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:13:23 while the median finisher took 2:03:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
