Reply to comment by KNS508 in Why doesn’t Worcester have our own marathon or halfer or just anything more than 5k’s? by Sithlordbelichick

I think it stopped for COVID and no one has been motivated enough to start it back up

It takes so much time and money to put on a race like a half. I think if the profit margins were there we would see it come back. 5Ks are so much easier because it’s a lower barrier to entry (bigger pool of runners to pull from) and cheaper (less $$ spent on road closures and police details).
