DANVERS, Mass., Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mortgage Network, Inc., one of the largest independent mortgage lenders in the eastern U.S., announced it is sponsoring the 2021 USA Track and Field (USATF) Half Marathon National Championship on December 5 featuring many of the country's Olympians and top distance runners.

There will be $40,000 in prize money for the championship event and USATF series money to be given to the circuit's top ten female and male athletes. The top two men and women will also be named to Team USA and will represent the U.S. at the World Half Marathon Championships in China in late March 2022.

The event, billed as the Mortgage Network Road Races, includes a 5K race held by The Patel Foundation of Lowcountry, a local non-profit organization that helps local residents in need. All three events will be held at the Hardeeville Elementary School in Hardeeville, South Carolina. This is the second year Mortgage Network has sponsored the USATF event in South Carolina, which has been driven by regional manager David Crowell.

"We are thrilled to once again sponsor this great event," said Crowell. "We have phenomenal runners who come from all over the country to compete, and the community seems to really embrace and enjoy it."

The Patel Foundation 5K will start at 7:45 a.m. and will be open to all runners. The Half Marathon Championship Race is the final leg of the USATF Running Circuit and will feature past Olympic medalists and U.S. team members. The women's race will be at 8:50 a.m. followed by the men's race at 9:05 a.m. There will also be a sub-elite section for men and women that will begin behind the men's start.
