Join Epic Racing Events for our upcoming races in 2026

Hey Epic Runners:

Join Epic Racing Events for the 7th Annual Summit City Half Marathon and Quarter Marathon on Saturday April 11,2026. This will be the second race in our Epic Race Series for 2026. No need to travel for those spring half marathons, because now we have one right here in our hometown!
New for 2026, with our concern for runner safety we have decided to move our event to the PFW and surrounding greenway system. All Race Participants in the Half or Quarter Marathon will receive a finisher medal.
