Kerry Breaks Down The Hobbiton Half Marathon Experience
You shall not pass up this interview with Kerry Flynn. She talks about the Middle Earth Halfling Half Marathon in Hobbiton, New Zealand. This marathon is a bucket list destination race for Lord of the Rings fans. She explains logistics like bib pickup, transportation, small-race scale, and the unique afternoon start time. Then she gets into what runners really want to know: the course. This is a trail half marathon on a working farm. It has narrow footing and real hills. There is a massive elevation gain of about 603 meters, nearly 2,000 feet. There are character-style interactions. You will find quote signs for photos. There is a lake stop where some runners jump in. A Green Dragon Inn moment feels like on-course entertainment done the Middle Earth way.
