Event Format
The Taskinas Creek Half Marathon for 2026 is described as a "no frills" or "Hike-a-Half" event. The organizer's stated goal is to be inclusive rather than competitive, with the aim of keeping entry fees low.
What's Included
Participants will receive official results posted online, a finisher medal, and a special coaster award for setting a new personal record on this course. The event includes free parking, aid stations, and a well-marked course.
What's Not Included
T-shirts are not included in the standard registration and must be purchased separately by a deadline. There will be no overall or age group awards, and only light food like fruit will be available at the finish, not a full lunch.
Course Details
The half marathon course is mostly on trails. It includes single-track trails, fire roads, and about one mile of pavement. The total elevation gain is around 600 feet. The final two miles of the course are noted as being particularly tough. The event has a time limit of 5 hours. Much of the trail is shaded.
Logistics
Registration is limited to 250 participants. There is no race day registration. Packet pickup starts at 6:30 AM on race day. Aid stations are planned near miles 3.1, 6.5, and 10.5. The race starts and finishes at York River State Park in Williamsburg, Virginia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
