Donald is finally #1.
At least when it comes to the fastest growing distance in the sport of running.
I found this on Runner’s World and my jaw DROPPED.
Wow.
Half Marathon finishers have grown 575% over the past 22 years according to 2014 Running USA Annual Half Marathon Report.
Is your jaw on the floor too?

Do these numbers surprise you? ?Where do you fall in the age or pace average?

I love this graphic! I’m below average in speed and above average in age but hugely proud of my efforts either way! Great to hear that more people are enjoying the half marathon distance! I’m considering the Jeff Galloway virtual half at the moment 🙂
I am considering that one too- the swag is great for a virtual!
I, too, am below average in speed (assuming that means slower) & above average in age. I suppose it’s good to be above average in something!
