Saratoga Springs, N.Y.,  – Co-founders of iRun LOCAL, Jamie and Anthony Mastroianni and real estate leader Jessica Hauprich have announced that they will host the inaugural iRun Saratoga Half Marathon in downtown Saratoga Springs, NY on Sunday, September 20th at 8:00AM.

The race will begin in historic Congress Park and finish in High Rock Park, navigating the scenic Saratoga Greenbelt system, Spa State Park, and Saratoga Springs’ iconic landmarks and neighborhoods.

“We wanted to create a new half marathon in Saratoga Springs that showcases the very best of the running routes that locals like myself enjoy everyday,” said Jamie Mastroianni. “From horse racing heritage to the Congress Park Carousel to SPAC and the beautiful Spa State Park, the scenery is the star of this half marathon course. With about four months until race day, we are thrilled to have over one thousand (1,000) runners registered and expect a full capacity race.”

“It was important to me that we host a high quality event that welcomes everyone: from first time half marathon runners to competitive runners looking to set a new personal record,” said Jessica Hauprich. “This race celebrates the local running community and welcomes visitors from all over to experience the very best of Saratoga’s running scene.”

The presenting sponsors for the race are Druthers Brewing Company and the newly created BPM Hart Foundation for Cancer Support. Druthers will host an after party directly following the race at their Broadway location in downtown Saratoga Springs.

Race participants will receive a race medal, race t shirt, and a ticket for one free beverage at Druthers after the race. The race will be USATF-certified and will be an annual event.
