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 explores downtown Athens and the Boulevard neighborhood 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.

This race was really well put on!! There were so many road crossings manned by volunteers and police officers, it was pretty impressive! It is quite hilly, but not unbearably so. You get to run in Sanford Stadium and you are on the jumbotron as you’re running. Really cool!! And the finisher medal is fabulous!! Definitely glad we found this race, and highly recommend it!!
