SRG Spring Ahead Half Marathon

This popular 13.1-mile race offers a "flat and fast" course, perfect for chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a refreshing early spring run. The route guides participants on a loop around the Berm Trail before flowing onto the picturesque Schuylkill River Trail (SRT) to Douglassville and back, providing a smooth, paved trail experience. As the clocks "spring ahead" on race day, typical conditions feature highs around 47F and lows near 28F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating crisp running weather.

The SRG Spring Ahead Half Marathon is designed with runners in mind, boasting water stations at miles 3, 7, and 9, alongside portable restrooms conveniently located at the start/finish area and on the course at these same mile markers. Every half marathon finisher earns a unique artist-designed medal to commemorate their achievement, and those who register by February 26th are guaranteed a race-themed T-shirt. Beyond the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a complimentary beer for all runners over 21, courtesy of the Fork & Ale.

More than just a race, the event also serves a greater purpose, with a portion of your registration fee and 100% of all donations directly benefiting Schuylkill River Greenways, supporting their mission to connect communities to the Schuylkill River and its trail. Starting and finishing at Union Township's Union Meadows recreation complex, this event is celebrated as a "perfect race to kickstart the spring season," offering a rewarding experience for runners of all levels.
