Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon

Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon is held in Albany, New York, on April 10, 2027, and offers two distances: the half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K. The name places the event between the Helderbergs and the Hudson, in the Capital Region of upstate New York, and the two formats mean you can bring along a partner or friend who would rather run something shorter.

A half marathon in early April suits runners who kept a base through the winter and want a spring goal. Give it around 12 weeks: a weekly long run building toward 11 miles, one steady or tempo session, and easy running the rest of the time. If you are targeting a personal best, practice your race pace in the final month so it feels automatic. The 5K, by contrast, needs little more than regular running and a good warm-up.
