Human Powered Health Half Marathon Recap

On June 1st, 2024, Human Powered Health hosted our second half marathon, a testament to human potential and performance. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every participant, supporter and organizer who made this event a huge success.

Partnering with MN Run Series, we set out a scenic course along the Mississippi River. The warm, breezy Saturday morning weather was perfect for a run. The event featured various distances, including a half marathon, 10 miles, 5 miles, a 5k, a kids’ race and an 11-mile skate race. With options for everyone, from elite runners to weekend warriors, it was truly a Fun Run for All in St. Paul.

Exploring Human Performance

Highlighting Human Powered Health’s pillars of performance (Mindset, Fuel, Movement, and Recovery), runners sampled offerings from our performance labs. Runners had the option to complete sweat analysis while running, measuring electrolyte and sweat loss to gain insights into their body’s unique sweat rate. This data will help them optimize their hydration strategy for optimal performance.
