Sorry 'Bout That Half Marathon and Team Relay
About this race
Welcome Back Runners!! This is the 14th Running!!!
The Sorry 'Bout That 1/2 Marathon and Team Relay is back for 2027. Hopefully it will be above freezing this year on race day, but not by much.
The course will be clockwise this year, meaning a uphill start start and uphilll finish, with the large downhill in the middle miles. Two aide stations and one portajohn will be on the course. Clockwise means it goes the direction of an old clock with hands. All turns on the course are to the right except for one. Free Finisher Medals with entry and finish. If you enter the race and don't run you will not get a medal
This year T shirts are extra cost. I have been informed by the accountants that the race can not afford to keep losing money every year. T shirt option was turned off on 12/29/2026.
