Local runners gear up for Augusta Half Marathon
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Local runners are getting ready for the Augusta Half Marathon.
It’s coming up in just a few short weeks – February 24.
Runners can aim for a 5k, 10k or the whole half marathon.
“Come out. It’s a great crowd. It’s a lot of local participation, which is great to see. We have a couple of charity partners,” said Michelle Pippin, CEO of Augusta Sports Council.
You can learn more about the race and sign up on Augusta Half Marathon’s website.
The entry fee you pay stays here in the CSRA.
The fees go towards scholarships that the Augusta Sports Council hands out. They also keep the nonprofit up and operating.
Also, new this year, there’s a virtual race if you want to stay at home if you want to avoid the crowd.
