Looking to get your new year off to a halfway decent start? Check out the Second Annual Liberty Half Marathon in West Liberty. The race begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. and runners will primarily follow County Road 5 to Zanesfield, then County Road 10 to East Liberty. Runners will challenge Bristol Ridge at Mile 10 and then race two miles downhill to the finish. This is not an officially certified course yet, but it is a wonderful way to start the New Year!
