The fourth Carrollton Half Marathon will take place on September 23 and organizers are inviting runners to register now.
“The 2023 Carrollton Half Marathon is almost here,” said Race Director and SoleRoots Running Co. owner, Tyler Woodard. “More than 600 runners will descend on the streets of Carrollton and the Carrollton Greenbelt. We hope to carry the momentum of the past years’ successful races into this one. This race offers a unique route, post race finish festivities and prizes. We look forward to seeing you on September 23!”
The Half Marathon’s 13.1-mile course starts at Adamson Square, then takes runners through the city and along the shaded, rolling hills of the GreenBelt. Runners will enjoy music and food at the Amp after crossing the finish line back at Adamson Square.
“We are excited to support such an important event in Carrollton,” said Tonya Fulks, outreach operations manager for Tanner Health System’s Get Healthy, Live Well. “The Carrollton Half Marathon not only promotes healthy living, it brings our community together.
