Long Bridge Half Marathon returns in May

SANDPOINT — The Long Bridge Half Marathon, which will also include 10K and 5K races, will take place at Sandpoint City Beach on Saturday, May 11 this year, and race directors are looking to develop some community partnerships before the event.

The event, in its second year since the Long Bridge Scenic Half dissolved, is hoping to make a connection with other community groups or individuals who want to help to support runners along the course.

“Whether it’s business entities or other groups who want to come together, they can promote what they do while helping us out with the race,” race director Ken Eldore said. “For example, we need turn monitors where four to five people from an office can wear their swag and make themselves visible to the community.”
