Half Marathons in July 2027

There are more half marathons than marathons in July, since 13.1 miles is much easier to manage in summer. The San Francisco Marathon weekend offers a first half over the Golden Gate Bridge and a second half through the city, and mountain and coastal towns host races in naturally cooler conditions. A July half is a good checkpoint in a fall marathon build.‍
