Visalia Half Marathon

The Visalia Half Marathon is a spring road race held annually in Visalia, in California's San Joaquin Valley. First run in 2023, the event returns in 2027 for its fifth edition, starting and finishing at Cutler Park on the city's east side. The course is an out-and-back route along the St. Johns River to Riverway Sports Park, continuing on closed streets past farmland on the valley floor; it is flat and fast, run on a mix of paved trails and closed roads. The race anchors the Run The Valley Half Marathon Series, alongside the Hell of a Half Marathon and the Judgment Day Half Marathon. Finishers receive a custom medal, a hot breakfast, and Rosa Brothers chocolate milk, with a DJ and post-race celebration in the park. The event also offers a 10K and a self-guided Virtual Half Marathon option. The half marathon has sold out in recent years, including the 2026 edition.
