The Colonial Half Marathon has been listed by Runners’ World as one of the top 100 road races in the United States. The half marathon course which is somewhat hilly starts on the Campus of William & Mary, followed the Carter’s Grove Country Road to a loop in Kings Mill, and returned along the Country Road to finish in William & Mary Hall. The 5K run wound around the campus of William & Mary and also finished in William &
Mary Hall.
Unlike last year when runners experienced sun, clouds, rain and snow, conditions today were perfect for racing; partly cloudy with temperatures in the 50s.
A total of 1180 runners entered the both events, 849 in the Half Marathon and 331 in the 5K. 680 runners completed the Half Marathon in the time allotted (2:45) and 277 runners completed the 5K in the time allotted (45
minutes). The Half Marathon course was the same course that has been run since the change to the Carter’s Grove Country Road course and was run correctly. This course has been USATF certified VA-08004-RT. The 5K course around William & Mary is not certified. The races were conducted and results provided by the Peninsula Track Club.
