The Heritage Half Marathon takes place in the beautiful Northern Virginia community of Gainesville. With great support by local communities, businesses, and civic organizations the first Heritage Half held in 2010 was a huge success! 2011 looks to be bigger and better than t...he first year. With the event being held on October 16th it makes a perfect tune-up for the Marine Corps Marathon which is two weeks away. The course proved to be fast this past year with a slightly rolling terrain. The course now has a name for it's small incline leading back up to the finish..."Catepillar Hill".
Newly Announced!!! We are happy to partner with SPARK, the Prince William County School Education Foundation. Proceeds will benefit the schools by people selecting either SPARK or a specific school during online registration. Also on Saturday prior to packet pick-up, we will be holding a Marathon Mile event where kids through 5th grade will run their final 1.2 mile of a 26.2 mile training program they sign up for at the beginning of school!!! This will be a huge event (hint, we need volunteers to make it an event the kids will love). More info on this as we get closer. Make sure to get your school involved in this unique, healthy, fun, way to fund raise.
The event also benefits The Owen Lea Foundation helping the fight against neuroblastoma read more
