Headbanger Half Marathon

Relive the glory days of head banging music at the Headbanger Half, with a distance for everyone. Not up to running, but want to celebrate head banging from the past? We have a 2 mile walk for you. We even have a Little Banger 1K run that is free!

Course
It doesn’t get much flatter than the Bugline Trail (paved). The course is treelined with quarry views.

On the half course there are train tracks at mile 3.75. Do not race the train! It is much faster and bigger than you. We will have timing mats on both sides of the tracks so your time will be accurate. Think of it as taking a break from the mosh pit without punishment when you get back in it.

Tshirts
The shirts are cotton unisex just like all those head banging concerts you attended! Those registered before May 30 are guaranteed a custom race shirt. After that, shirts will be available while online supplies last. Any extra shirts will be distributed after the race on a first come, first served basis.

Everything you ever wanted to know about shirts can be found right here!

Awards & Finisher Medals
All head bangers get a custom finisher’s “medal.” The medals are made from cassette tapes with a custom lanyard.

Overall Male & Female will receive custom vinyl record awards. Top 3 male & female finishers in 5 year age groups will receive a custom medal.
