Fresh finisher results landed for two very different halves today — one on the California coast, one in the Wyoming mountains — totaling about 2,020 result rows.
Mare Island Half Marathon
Vallejo, California — 183 finishers (2026)
This waterfront course along the Mare Island strait drew 183 runners for its 2026 edition, a solid mid-sized field for a July half on the West Coast.
Out of the Darkness & Into the Bighorns
Ten Sleep, Wyoming — 133 finishers (2024)
One of the most evocatively named races on the calendar, this remote half through Bighorn National Forest had 133 finishers in its 2024 running. The name alone makes you want to sign up.
Observation: Two races, two extremes — California salt air vs. Wyoming alpine. If you're chasing a scenic PR, either delivers, but the Bighorns might give you more vert. Check the elevation profiles before you pick.
