Happy Half Marathon, Hoppy 5K & Kids Run

The idea for this race comes from family members running the 13.1 mile course from Springfield to Yellow Springs to train for a full marathon in which they would be raising money to help cover the cost of cancer treatment for Mike Maloney, father of Co-Director Alex Maloney.

The first official Happy Half Marathon was held in 2012. The race brings together 300+ runners from all over to support our cause and give them a chance to achieve their fitness goals. The course begins at Springfield High School, runs along the Miami Valley Scenic Bike Trail, and ends in beautiful Yellow Springs. This route is shaded and has a negative grade, making a comfortable run for everyone, whether you are an experienced runner, or this is your first go at a half marathon.
