Race Overview

The Nittany Valley Half-Marathon will be on Sunday, December 4th in State College, Pennsylvania!

Half Marathon Course


​The 13.1 mile course begins & ends on the Penn State campus, touring through rolling countryside, along scenic Spring Creek and through quaint Houserville.

Course: ​Race day headquarters, parking and the start line are at the Snider Ag Arena. 

The race will begin at 10 AM.  All runners must cross the start mat by 10:15 AM.  You will be chip timed so your overall time will be calculated based on when you start.


​We have a detailed course map with elevation profile. The course will be well-marked by signage and volunteers.
​
The finish line is across the street from the start, at the former Visitor's Center.
Please note that we ask runners to park at the Start Line/Ag Arena so that the Visitors Center remains a safe area for all of our runners as they finish.

Time Limit: Runners will have to reach Mile 9 by 12:30. The course will be closed at 1:30 pm. All runners must complete the course in 4.5 hours.
