As part of the Choochokam Arts festival next month in Langley, a half-marathon will be run starting at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, July 12.

The race begins at the corner of Second Street and De Bruyn Avenue, finishing at the main Choochokam Arts stage 13.1 miles later.

“New for this year is a 10-kilometer walk event,” said race organizer Matt Simms. “The race benefits the South Whidbey Parks Foundation.”
