About the Winter Warrior Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon & Half Marathon Relay
The course runs out of Monroe Community College, starting near the gymnasium, which stays open for warming up before and after. The route is a multi-loop design, so spectators can catch runners at every pass. The half covers more loops than the quarter, and relay teams each run a single loop. Winter conditions are part of the point here, whatever the weather turns out to be.
Packet pickup runs the day before at Fleet Feet at The Armory on Culver Road, and the organizers strongly encourage going then rather than waiting. Race-morning pickup is available at the college but closes before the start. There are indoor restrooms at the venue, and Salvatore's brings pizza for the post-race spread.

The Winter Warrior Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon & Half Marathon Relay has been held every year since at least 2015. 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 Oct 22, 2026.
