Our Story

The AthHalf Half Marathon packs all that Athens has to offer in a dynamic race course, including a run through historic districts and the University of Georgia campus with live music from local Athens bands throughout the course! And it’s all to help raise money to support music and arts education for K – 8 youth.

AthHalf is produced annually by the nonprofit organization, AthFest Educates, supporting its mission of funding high-quality music and arts programming for youth. When you run the AthHalf, you are directly impacting a child’s access to music and the arts.
