November 14, 2026 · Looped half marathon
A scrappy looped half marathon with a very simple goal: show up, take a loop, and see if you’ve got one more in you.

How it works
Brad and Adrienne are taking on 2.2 mile loops, starting one each hour, until they reach roughly a half marathon. You can make the day your own.
Come run a loop with us, stick around for more, or cheer from the sidelines.
Six loops add up to about 13.2 miles. Snacks and good company count as part of the strategy.
Out of town? Run a virtual half marathon whenever and however it works for you, then tag us.
Why we run
Back Alley Hustle helps us serve families battling childhood cancer during two Lighthouse Family Retreat service weeks this summer.
We’re running loops, gathering people, and raising support so we can show up for those families with care, joy, and practical help. That’s the heart behind the hustle.

The loop math
Try a loop count and see your distance. One is enough to join the fun. Six is the full Back Alley Hustle plan.
There are basically no rules here
Run one loop, run all six, or hang out in the Trash Talk Zone. The “Only Thing I’m Running Is My Mouth” shirt is a valid event-day choice.
Run your half marathon another day if November 14 doesn’t work. However you split it up, tag Adrienne so we can cheer you on.
