About this race

Please note this is solely a VIRTUAL event.  


No matter the reason we can all use a little bit of extra motivation during the summer to keep at those miles and this year we are we are happy to bring back the Fly with the Eagles-SUMMER EDITION!  


We understand that trying to get in a half marathon during the summer may not always be easy.  That is why runners will have from July 17th to August 19th to complete.  Whether it’s finding a weekend free, a day that is not too hot, hitting it up on the treadmill, or even getting in those miles once the sun goes down we want to see you finish.  


Registration should be submitted by July 24th to guarantee a Fly with the Eagles Tank Top!  Tank Tops and Finisher Medals will be mailed out to each Participant the week following the last day of the event.
