2016 Murray Half Marathon is April 16th

Murray Half Marathon

A date has been set for the 6th Annual Murray Half Marathon

The community race will take place Saturday, April 16th.  

Interested participants may sign up at www.MurrayHalfMarathon.org.

The Half Marathon offers three races: a 13.1 mile race, a 13.1 mile two-person relay or a 5K run/walk.  

The race last year brought in a record enrollment of more than 750 runners and raised $50,000 dollars through sponsorships and entry fees.  

All proceeds benefit the upcoming Anna Mae Owen Residential Hospice House, expected to open in the spring.  

The facility will offer end-of-life care in a home-like setting to area residents in partnership with 

 
MCCH’s existing Hospice unit. 
 
Runners interested in participating may sign up at www.MurrayHalfMarathon.org and several 
 
discount levels are offered based on how early the participant registers.  Course information and 
 
other important details are also available on the site.
