The half marathon has been overshadowed by the full marathon for far too long, reduced to a stepping stone for longer distances.
A hierarchy so normalized that it is commonly passed off as ‘just the half’.
It’s time to change the story.
Introducing ‘Just the Half’ - where every step tells a story, every journey is celebrated, and every distance is a challenge in its own right.
We’ve brought six people together, each pushing boundaries in their own lanes.
These six changemakers never thought they’d run a race.
Their challenge? The Vancouver half marathon.
On May 5, this group of six will set off on a run to show that the half marathon is more than a “just” or an “only.” It is a victory, a statement to say with pride.
