The Wineglass Marathon is a great local event that runners attend from all over. It is where I ran my first ever half marathon. I have stood along the course and cheered and photographed runners for several years. And the last three years I have volunteers as bike support for the event. And in 2024 I also volunteered to work at the Wineglass Expo helping fellow runners and their families get any of the information they need to make their day a success.

For the 2024 edition my riding partner and I were tapped to ride with the lead male runners. This was pretty exciting. I have never done that before. It was really fun to ride along and watch the race at the front of the pack unfold. I had a GoPro camera mounted to my bike and I recorded the last two thirds of the race. We were able to ride with the eventual winner until he was literally all alone on the home stretch.

Have any of you run the Wineglass Half Marathon?
