About the Park to Park Half Marathon
The Park to Park Half Marathon is a flat, out-and-back road race in Sulphur, Louisiana, held on a Saturday in February. The course starts and finishes at Sulphur Heritage Square on Ruth Street, heads east through Frasch Park and Pattison Park, then runs west across town along Maplewood Drive to McMurry Park and back. It is chip timed with a 3.5-hour limit, and the proceeds support the Sulphur High School cross country and track teams. A 10K and a 1K family fun run start the same morning.
