About the race

Marine Corps Historic Half is a 13.1-mile half marathon held in Fredericksburg, Virginia, about midway between Richmond and the nation’s capital. Runners traverse the historic streets—from Central Park through downtown shops to Hospital Hill—finishing under a star-spangled finish line. The event is part of the Marine Corps Marathon Organization and features support from U.S.

Marines, a finisher medal and a technical participant shirt, plus a start ceremony that ends with a vintage musket blast. In 2026, runners can take on the Esprit de Corps Challenge, a two-day mix of events (Semper Fred 5K on Saturday and the Historic Half on Sunday) with bundle options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
