Yosemite Half Marathon
About this race
The Yosemite Half is a mostly-downhill, scenic course through the Sierra National Forest just outside Yosemite National Park, finishing right in front of beautiful Bass Lake. In May, the lake is full and the waterfalls are pumping, so there is truly no better time to visit!

Running
Half Marathon
The first 5 miles of our course will start on Fire Rd and is on a rough terrain trail. There is no steep uphill or downhill here, but it’s not exactly flat either. Miles 6-10 are a fast downhill descent on a beautifully paved road. After crossing RD-274 (Malum Ridge Rd), you'll turn right onto N. Shore Road which will take you around Bass Lake until about mile 12.25. From there you'll take a left on S. Shore Rd. The race will finish at Recreation Point.
Charity Bibs
By claiming a charity bib you're committing to raise $1000. 100% of the money raised will be donated to our charity partner and benefits Yosemite National Park! Don't take this lightly. Once you sign up for the charity bib, you're committed to raising all of the $1000. You'll have until 2 weeks before race day to reach your fundraising goal. At that point, if you are short of meeting the goal, you'll be charged the remainder. All donations are final.
