Hershey Half Marathon

Participants may pick up their Bibs, Shirts and Goodie Bags on Saturday, October 19 from 10AM - 5PM or Sunday, October 20, from 6AM - 7:30AM, in the Hersheypark Stadium's Club area. Participants need to know their Bib # in order to pick up all of the swag. An ID will not be needed and friends may pick up your packet on your behalf.

The relay option allows for a team of two (2) people to each complete, approximately, one half of the course. Due to space limitations, at the exact halfway point, the location of the Transition Area, for relay participants, is at mile 6.7; therefore, the second leg of the relay is only 6.4 miles. Shuttle bus transportation will be provided for registered participants only, to and from, the Transition Area (NO spectators, family members or children will be permitted on the buses). Shuttle buses will be located near the Northeast corner of the Hersheypark Stadium. The second-leg participant should board the bus, at this location, no later than 7:10am. Participants completing the first leg of the relay, will be dropped off at this location, after returning from the Transition Area. Each participant completing the first leg of the race will receive a finisher medal and recovery bag, at the Transition Area, and will be brought, via bus, back to Hersheypark Stadium. Participants completing the second leg will receive their finisher medal and recovery bag, at the finish line.

The Kids Fun Run will occur on Saturday, October 19 at 5:15 PM at Hersheypark Stadium. Pre-registration is required. Check-in will be at the Hersheypark Stadium between 10am-5pm.
