AthHalf Finish Line Celebration:
Though the race in 2020 has moved to an individual-virtual platform due to Covid, in true AthHalf fashion, there will be live music! The races may have gone virtual, but the AthHalf Finish Line Celebration on the lawn at Southern Brewing Company on Sun., October 25, 2020 will feature these incredible bands:
- The Hobohemians from 1 pm - 2:30 pm
- Fishbug from 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
- Five Eight from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Join the AthHalf Finish Line Celebration to pick up your race swag, visit with vendors, take your picture with the AthHalf Finish Line banner, and enjoy some great live music. Come on...you know it's been a while since you've heard live music! Registered AthHalf participants 21 and over also receive one draft beer from Southern Brewing Company. Entry will be staggered and social distancing precautions in place for this outdoor event.
2020 Race Update:
August 19, 2020: AthFest Educates announced today that the 2020 AthHalf Half Marathon & 5K, scheduled for October 24-25, would move to virtual race formats. As virtual races, individual participants will complete either a Half Marathon or 5K distance on a route of their own choosing by October 25th and submit their documented time to the race director.
AthHalf is produced annually by the nonprofit organization, AthFest Educates, supporting its mission of funding high-quality music and arts programming for youth. When you run the AthHalf, you are directly impacting a child’s access to music and the arts.
The AthHalf is AthFest Educates’ largest fundraising event, raising tens of thousands of dollars to advance high-quality music and arts education for local youth through direct support of school and community-based programs and experiences. More on AthFest Educates at http://athfesteducates.org/
