Murray Half Marathon

05/25/2022

A decision was made in 2021 to transition the Murray Half Marathon to a 5K only race, but we have continued to receive questions via our page, so we wanted to clarify the announcement here as well.

After much consideration, The Foundation at MCCH has made the decision to transition the Murray Half Marathon into a 5K only race in the future. This was a fantastic event for our community for many years. The full story on our decision to move to a 5K only event can be found at the link below.

We appreciate your support and participation in our event for many years and hope you continue to support The Foundation in other events and fundraising efforts.

The Murray Half Marathon has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 race.

The decision has been made in response to the continued unknowns with COVID-19 for planning purposes. The Foundation at MCCH will continue to evaluate possible future races or incorporate a separate 5K or 10K as part of the event calendar in the future.

As of now, the Mercy Health Iron Mom Half-Marathon and Hoptown Half Marathon & 5K will continue in our region and participants can join our partners and be part of these races. They will be offered virtually and in-person. Thanks for your support of our event!

Our friends at the Half Marathon and 5K are planning to run next month! If you've been looking to get back out there and enjoy a great event, check them out. They've got a beautiful course and some sweet swag too, we'll see you there! They also have a plan for a SAFE run too.👇

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy setting during the 2nd Annual Hoptown Half Marathon & 5K, but we need your help. Please review some of the primary points from the Christian County Health Department-approved Safety Plan (provided here) in order to be prepared and make proper arrangements, etc. during Race Weekend. You can also view the COMPLETE Safety Plan on the front page of HoptownHalf.com. Thank you in advance for complying with these guidelines and helping us make this another successful (and safe) event!

⚠️ IF the 2nd Annual Hoptown Half & 5K must be canceled (which we do not foresee), complete refunds will be issued. Register with confidence! ⚠️

Race Family,

Out of an abundance of caution and concern for our runners, volunteers, race support organizations, and staff; the Foundation at Murray-Calloway County Hospital has cancelled the Murray Half Marathon and 5K that was scheduled for October 24, 2020.

As a healthcare organization our first priority must be to the health and wellness of our community. This year’s run was to be the 10th Annual Murray Half Marathon and we look forward to celebrating that milestone next year.

The Foundation at MCCH has begun notifications to all participants and will process race refunds as soon as possible. We will contact all sponsors individually. We truly appreciate your support of this event and hope that you will be able to join us again next year.

Our goal is to resume this fundraiser event in October 2021. While we regret having to cancel our popular community event this year, we believe it is in the best interests of the health and welfare of our community.

Please feel free to contact Melony Morgan at [email protected] or Brady Parks at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
The David Taylor Murray Half Marathon Team
