Run To Breathe Half Marathon & 5K

Lace up for the Run To Breathe Half Marathon & 5K on June 7, 2026, and experience a rewarding race through the scenic beauty of Moraine State Park in Portersville, PA. Starting at McDanel's Boat Launch, both the 13.1-mile and 3.1-mile courses unfold entirely on a paved bike path, offering breathtaking views of tree-covered woods and the shimmering lake. While not a course for setting a personal best due to its "tough" profile with numerous short and rolling hills, runners consistently praise the challenging yet picturesque route. Typical race day conditions in early June include comfortable highs around 77F and lows near 55F, with a 21% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

The Run To Breathe Half Marathon provides ample support with three hydration stations strategically placed along the out-and-back route, along with restrooms at the start/finish area and around mile 5. Half marathon finishers earn a unique medal, and all pre-registered participants receive a commemorative shirt or coffee mug, with prize money awarded to the top overall male and female half marathoners. This event is capped at 350 runners, fostering a supportive atmosphere that runners commend for its friendly staff and dedicated volunteers. Beyond the miles, every stride supports a vital cause, with proceeds benefiting Pennsylvania Cystic Fibrosis Inc., adding a profound purpose to your race day.
