Following the tradition it began with its inaugural 5K, Wendell Foster Center is offering prize money to the event's top finishers.  Plus, each runner who completes the course will be awarded "huge finisher medals!"
The Wendell Foster Half Marathon is, of course, an officially timed 13.1 mile course, with eight water stations positioned along the race route.
