What is the AthHalf Half Marathon & 5K?
The AthHalf packs all that Athens has to offer into exciting half marathon and 5K courses! The half marathon course includes a run through Athens’ historic districts, downtown, and the UGA campus, with local Athens bands performing live throughout the course. The 5K course starts at the Classic Center Pavilion, runs over to the Firefly Trail for an out and back and returns to the Classic Center Pavilion with a live band at the start and finish line to help you celebrate your accomplishment. Athens residents come out in force to cheer on and entertain runners along the way, adding to the fun energy of these popular events.
The AthHalf is produced annually by the nonprofit organization, AthFest Educates, and race proceeds support our mission of funding high-quality music and arts education programming for local K – 12 youth. When you run the AthHalf, you are directly impacting a child’s access to music and the arts.
