We’re often asked if walkers can participate in The Middle Half. The short answer is “yes”, as long as a few guidelines are followed.

RULES FOR WALKERS:
1. At the start, please line up in the back. There will be a sign designating the Walkers’ area to line up. This eliminates a lot of jostling and zig-zagging at the start by athletes trying to pass slower participants.
2. Stay to the right, and do not walk more than two abreast.
3. All athletes MUST maintain a 15 minute per mile pace and must be at Mile 6 by 8:30 a.m. (ninety minutes after the last person crosses the Start line). Anyone on the course before Mile 6 after this time will be rerouted to the start line via Middle Tennessee Boulevard, either by foot or by a shuttle provided by the Murfreesboro Half Marathon, and will not be allowed to cross the finish line.

Happy walking!
