Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! 💛

The Happy Half Marathon is only possible because of the support of so many amazing women. Those who run, walk, volunteer, and cheer us on from the sidelines are what makes our event, and thousands like ours, successful.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us. We can't wait to grow even more into 2026!

The Mercy Health - Springfield Cancer Center is a great asset to our community in addition to being an incredible partner and supporter of the Happy Half Marathon. This year, we were able to raise $11,000 for the Cancer Center!

This brings our lifetime contribution over $100,000! We are extremely proud of this incredible milestone which would not be possible without the support and generosity of our participants, sponsors, volunteers, and so many other organizations who help make our events possible.

We are so grateful for the commitment of our incredible volunteers! Year after year they continue to bring the energy and support for our participants to help them from start to finish.

We appreciate you!
