The beautiful city in which I reside has one coming up.... I'm contemplating running the half-marathon (and eventually, the full marathon)
.... How did you train for it & what was your diet regiment leading up to it?

Google "training schedule for marathon or 1/2" and you will find some really good running/training schedules to help prep you for the race. If you give yourself enough time, you should be able to complete the 1/2, no problem. The serious training is usually 6-8 weeks before the actual race, and your distance, pace and elevation change daily.

A gay event would be going to a Wrestling show & holding up one of those douchey signs...
Setting goals & regularly challenging oneself to go beyond what's normally comfortable, is a necessity for living a fruitful life .... And, it surely beats living vicariously through a bunch of 300 pound blaek guys who chase an elongated ball around for 2 hours every Sunday...
