Half Marathon

About the Project 13.1

Rockland Lake State Park is the draw here. The course has a reputation among half marathon runners as one of the faster routes around, and the race is built around that idea: waves are staggered, pacers are on the course, and runners can arrange their own bottle service along the way. The setup is deliberate and oriented toward people chasing a personal best.

The structure of the morning is tighter than a typical road race. Waves keep the field from bunching, and the pacing support means you can lock into a target and hold it. If you show up without a time goal, you may feel a little out of place; most people here have a number in mind.

Common Questions About the Project 13.1

Will I finish last at the Project 13.1?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 1:19:35, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:09:36, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Project 13.1 a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 445 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 Project 13.1?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:01:55 while the median finisher took 1:19:35. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
