Runners will enjoy a gorgeous autumn-time run beginning in downtown Athens then heading to the historic Boulevard, Normaltown, and Cobbham neighborhoods. The course will continue to wind past the gorgeous Greek houses and Five Points area where energetic spectators flock and cheer as they drink their morning coffee. The last miles of the course weave thru the UGA campus before heading into Sanford Stadium for the finish. And in AthHalf tradition, we’ll have live music throughout the course to keep you energized and having fun!
The 2024 Half Marathon route has been slightly adjusted due to road construction along the original course. However, the rerouted section remains within 100 feet of the margin of error, ensuring that the course retains its USATF certification.
