Thanks for query on HCM.
You can definitely participate in half marathon.
You have to continue your medicines.
Go for regular check up of blood pressure measurement.
Do regular exercise and running practice.
I recommend to go for TMT (bruice protocol) under guidance of your doctor.
If tmt comes absolutely normal than you can go for your marathon.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
Best wishes.
