What is a "half marathon"?

A half marathon is a long-distance race that is half the length of a full marathon, covering a distance of 13.1 miles or 21.1 kilometers. It is a popular event for both experienced runners and beginners who want to challenge themselves with a race longer than a 10K but shorter than a full marathon. The half marathon requires good stamina, pacing, and preparation, as runners need to maintain a steady pace to complete the race within a reasonable time. It is often held as part of larger running festivals or events.
