On Saturday, November 10, 2012 the Inaugural Trenton Half Marathon, 10K and Kids Run, presented by the Haldeman Family of Dealerships, hosted more than 3,000 runners. The event encompasses the capital district of Trenton, Cadwalader Park, Morrisville, PA, the historic Trenton Makes World Takes Bridge and the Calhoun Street Bridge. This event marks the first major endurance event in the Trenton area since the professional cycling series held here in the early 2000’s.
This inaugural event was able to partner with 11 charities that generated $47,500 for their causes. The Charity Partner program is now open and accepting applications for 2013.
As part of the mission of the Trenton Half Marathon and its collaboration with Haldeman, their goal was to help raise fund and awareness for various charities. Scott Haldeman had said, “We are proud to have been a part of this great event and to have the opportunity to be a catalyst in the charitable community. We look forward to increasing this number in 2013.”
