The Park to Park races really are a jewel in the Cedar Valley Race schedule. Running or walking a half marathon (13.1 miles) is something many people train a long time to do perhaps only once in their life. Even those of us who train to run this sort of distance often can appreciate the fall for cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels. Both race distances have a number of advantages over other races. Read on and find out why!
