The Star City Half Marathon will return to Roanoke again this year on Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012. Robin Ferguson shares the following information about the upcoming race:

Join us for this fun tour of Roanoke. This course is mostly flat with just a few challenging inclines to show of the highlights of the city. Stick around for the post race party for great food from local vendors at our “Taste of Roanoke.” Wine & Beer samples [will be available] from local businesses.

This year we’ve added a 10K Run/Walk for those not ready to run a half marathon.

If you are not up to participating, please consider volunteering. Make a difference for these runners and walkers by keeping them safe on the course and hydrated. Contact Kim Parker at kgparker74@yahoo.com for more information. To register online go to www.starcitystriders.com.
