There was a Worcester Running Festival that had a half marathon. Not sure why they stopped doing it.

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).
