The Hungry Holiday Half

Over the Christmas holiday this year I will be visiting my parents in my hometown of Anderson, SC. I thought it would be a fun time to run a half-marathon and waste my body with fast-food along the way. Here is the planned route:


For the first leg, we would start at Thomas Lucas Hanna High School and run about 6.4 miles to the Taco Bell at Belvedere Plaza, and a taco will be consumed. The first leg is a little long, but I think this is probably ideal in an effort to finish and not yak.

The second leg consists of trotting .2 miles over to McDonalds at the same shopping center and eating a double-cheeseburger.

From there, we will run 4.2 miles to Waffle House on 81 across from McCants Middle School to consume a wonderful waffle drenched in syrup.

The fourth leg is 1.7 miles up HWY 81 to Wendy's where our meal will be completed with a frostie for desert.

The last and final leg will be .8 miles back to Thomas Lucas Hanna High School.

Mileage:

  1. 6.4 miles
  2. .2 miles
  3. 4.2 miles
  4. 1.7 miles
  5. .8 miles

Total Mileage: 13.3 miles
