Description

 - This is the first year for the Sparta Half Marathon/5K. You will get to run on the Sparta-Elroy bike trail. Experience the beautiful country side! We will be part of Sparta's Fall Fest celebration.

We are a non-profit organization, with proceeds benefitting the Sparta Area Cancer Society/SACS.

Course Info

Half Marathon

About half of the course is on the bike trail and the other half on country roads. The beginning of the run will start at the Chamber of Commerce building. You will head west on the bike trail for 6.10 miles. At that point, you will be directed to turnaround and head in the opposite direction. The course will then veer onto Janus Ave, Impala Ave, and then Igloo Road. This course will reconnect with the bike trail again near the finish. There will be aid stations at each turn and volunteers to assist with the course.
