About
The annual Harrisburg YMCA Select Physical Therapy Halfity-Half Marathon is a springtime favorite!
All distances finish by the new Harrisburg Beach Club on the north end of City Island. The Harrisburg Beach Club is a new bar/restaurant that refurbished the former City Island Bathhouse. Following the race, participants will get to hang out at the Harrisburg Beach Club, enjoy music, food/drinks, and celebrate!

This race has a distance for runners of all abilities.
If you're looking for a springtime race or just looking to kickstart your running/walking season, the Halfity-Half has a distance for you. The 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) offers a fast, flat course that goes along the Susquehanna River and the southern Harrisburg Greenbelt Path through the woods. The whole race has beautiful views of the river, Harrisburg City skyline and the spring foliage.
If you aren't a long distance runner, then the 1/4 marathon (6.55 miles) or the 1/8 marathon (3.27 miles) are great options. Both distances go along the Susquehanna River and all the views that come along with it. And who knows, maybe you will start with one of these shorter distances and work your way up to a half or full marathon (hint, we have options for you in the fall!).
All distances receive a race shirt, finisher medal, and a fun after-party along the Susquehanna River at the Harrisburg Beach Club! Spectators are welcome too! Completing any of the 3 courses at the Halfity-Half gives you the first of the three piece Harrisburg Area YMCA Race Series set of finisher medals that connect to make our biggest medal to date! Entering any distance at our fall half marathon & 10K(Sept) and the Harrisburg Marathon, Half Marathon and Relays(Nov) will complete the set.
