Race Information
The McNabs Half is the second race in Urban Trail Racing's series. Cross the 'seas' to run the Half Marathon Trail Race on McNab's Island! Join UTR on this island and race by the stone walls of Fort McNab's, past the iconic lighthouse, and along the beach with amazing views of the city.
This race is unique since it is on McNab's Island, and getting everyone to the island in time for their race requires more work!
