What’s “Love the Half”?  It’s a celebration of the half marathon distance (13.1 miles) and those who love to complete events of that distance.  The 2009-2010 season will be defined as starting with the Heels and Hills and Him Half Marathon on September 27 and ending with the Heels and Hills Half Marathon at the beginning of May 2010.  This perfectly corresponds with the high season of running in Texas weather.

Love The Half members for the 2009-2010 season receive the following:

• Running Gear! A “Love the Half” technical shirt, available for pickup at Heels and Hills and Him on Sept. 27.
• Rewards for Completing Half Marathons! Those that complete one of the 2 Heels and Hills half marathons (Heels and Hills and Him Half on Sept. 27 or Heels and Hills Half in May) and at least 3 other half marathons (the other Heels and Hills event counts towards this) will receive free Love The Half socks, which can be picked up at the Heels and Hills Half in May towards the end of the season.
• Monthly Members-Only E-Newsletter!  This will highlight upcoming half marathons across the state, various pieces of half marathon news, and celebrations of recent finishes and accomplishments by participants.
• Member Accomplishments in Print for the Public to See!  All finishes of events with a length half marathon or longer completed in Texas will be published on the Love the Half website and in the Love The Half newsletter.
• Opportunities for Trips and Get Togethers! Invitations to race weekend meet-ups and trips out of Dallas for Love The Half members.
