Half Marathons in October
October is the busiest month for half marathons. The Portland Half shares race weekend with the Portland Marathon, the Flagstaff Marathon and nearly every region has a fall 13.1. Cool, steady weather makes October one of the best months of the year to run a fast half.
Racing in October? Start our 12-week half marathon training plan around late July.
