Running is gaining popularity across the world. And Half marathon has become quite a big event in many countries taking place every year. So what is Half Marathon? Well it is not a complex thing to define. A half marathon is a road running event. The distance to cover in half marathon is 21.0975 KM or 13.1094 miles to be precise. This distance is actually half the Marathon and is run on road instead of a race track. One who participates in half marathon does require good fitness and some preparation before the event day, but it surely nowhere near the hard work and preparation that goes into running a marathon. Well why this point is important to make is because distance of 21 KM may make some people scare in the first place. In 2008, Running USA reported that the half marathon is the fastest growing type of race. So every country in its different cities hold half marathon since last few years.
