HALFWITS!!!!! - Yay! Halfwits is back! Whether you plan to run the Lincoln Presidential Half Marathon or not, Halfwits is a great way to get together with your running friends.

*NEW* Halfwits Buffs are ready for pre-orders in the SRRC store. These will be delivered to a Halfwits run once they are ready.
We also have some in-stock inventory if you missed your chance to order a hoodie, tank top, car magnet or decal. Head on over to the club store and shop! Items purchased online will be dropped off at the Springfield Running Center for pickup. We love seeing our "team" jerseys all over town! Proceeds will help promote running in central Illinois!
