The event in a few words

In the heart of the beautiful region of New York, running enthusiasts are invited to a unique event: the Happy Half Trainers' Half Marathon! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Located in Ellicottville, in Cattaraugus County, this event mixes serious competition with fun, featuring festive and quirky themes.

Put on your wackiest costume and join us for a day of running in the great outdoors. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just getting started, there's something for everyone. From the Southern Tier Brewing Beer Mile (1.61km) for those who enjoy mixing pleasure with exercise, to the 5km road race for casual weekend warriors, and of course, the ultimate goal for any runner: the Half-Marathon! ๐Ÿ…

But the Happy Half Trainers' Half Marathon is not just about running; it's also the perfect opportunity to explore the treasures of the New York region. After crossing the finish line, why not reward yourself with a well-deserved break by visiting Ellicottville? This charming small town is a delight for nature and tranquility lovers.
