About
The Reading Half Wit Half Marathon takes place in Reading, Pennsylvania, in late February, and is organized by Pretzel City Sports. It consists of two trail runs: a 13.1-mile half marathon and a 6.55-mile quarter option. The event is based at the Reading Liederkranz German Singing & Sports Club.
Both races are run on trails rather than pavement, so footing can change from one stretch to the next. In southeastern Pennsylvania, late February often brings freeze-thaw cycles, which leave trails muddy, icy or both. Shoes with deep lugs, a spare pair of dry socks and a flexible pacing plan will help you enjoy the distance. Check the official page for the start time and course map before you travel.
