The USRA Half Marathon Series (USRARaceSeries.com) is a 10-city nationwide Half Marathon Series in mid-to-small size markets. Each Series event partners with the Convention & Visitors Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and/or Municipality in that community to conduct a Half Marathon, 5K, Fun and Runner's Expo/Packet Pickup. All events create a festive, fun atmosphere with live music, post race party and quality shirts (tech to Half Marathoners), medals (to Half Marathon finishers)and disposable chip timing among its many amenities. A "points" system will be introduced soon to incentivize runners running multiple series events.
At least 3-5 additional Half Marathons are pending for the 2010 season and Series owner Reinke Sports Group anticipates as many as 20-25 Series events in 2011! Further information can be obtained from USRA, Reinke Sports Group, 1531 Dale Ave., Winter Park, 32789, USRARaceSeries.com.
