2016 Healing Half Marathon to benefit Westchester Medical Center

The course will once again be on the beautiful Bronx River Parkway. A fantastic course along the quiet closed Parkway that is a great race for experienced and first-timers alike! Featuring a course that takes runners along the historic Bronx River Parkway and the 807-acre linear park that skirts the roadway, the Healing Half & 10K offers a moderately challenging race course with plenty of hills.

We will continue to have the Half Marathon Walkers Category this year. Walkers will start 30 minutes early so that you can finish and enjoy the expo with your fellow racers. The Walker category is for walkers ONLY and is not eligible for any age group awards or prizes.

The out-and-back race course, which unfolds along a 6.55-mile stretch of the Bronx River Parkway, begins for all participants at the Westchester County Center on Central Avenue. From there, the course turns east and then southwest along the parkway, passing local park areas as well as the Scarsdale Golf Club and the Leewood Golf Course. The most memorable — and scenic — part of the race, however, are the linear park areas that hug the parkway for most of the race.

All racers will receive a complimentary grilled cheese, delicious apple cider donut, fruit, chips, chocolate milk, a finisher medal and t-shirt while supplies last.
