Pastry Half
A social half marathon, one bakery at a time.
We run long-run routes past the best bakeries in town, stop for pastries, and keep going.
Two serious interests, one very unserious concept.
Pastry Half combines running and baked goods in the most natural way possible. We map out a half marathon route through the city and stop at carefully chosen bakeries along the way.
At each stop, we test buns, pastries, and other baked goods worth the kilometers, then jog on with fresh opinions and a slightly stronger reason to finish the route.

Olivia and Marlene, reporting for pastry duty.
Hi. We are Olivia and Marlene, your Pastry Half team. We love a good long run with a sweet treat, and that's exactly how Pastry Half was born.
We run at a conversational pace of 06:30 min per kilometer or slower to keep this properly social, so there is time for both chats and baked goods. We hope to see you soon.
Never miss a spot in the bun-support crew.
