Saturday June 8, 2013. Races start and finish in River Mill Park in downtown Huntsville. Same location for the post-race music festival.
More than just a race event, the Huntsville Half - Band on the Run is a festival of running and music. This, the second year of the event, features multiple distances from a 1 km kids run to a 21 km half-marathon, plus a fantastic line up of musicians as part of the music festival.
Race Events
- Half Marathon (21.0957 km – to be exact)
- Half Marathon Relay
- 10 km
- 5 km
- Kid’s Race
Canoe-Heads are welcome on the 5 km run. Yup, some people do this portage-style, carrying a canoe over their heads!
Music Festival
The post-race music festival will be rocking River Mill park in downtown Huntsville all afternoon. Free for event participants. Non-racers can buy tickets in advance ($10 here) or at the door ($15).
- Local fave Tobin Spring and Laganza are opening on the main stage, followed by
- Three-time Juno Award winning band The SHEEPDOGS
- with special guests The Sadies
It gets even better...
After the race (definitely after the race!) you can rehydrate with a sampling of local beers from a licensed beer garden just steps away.
And even better still...
