It's too much of a nothing event. It's under 90mins so you don't need to fuel. So, why is it any different from a 5km or 10km? The marathon is long enough that there are fueling concerns, making it an endurance event. The half marathon is just a 10km but longer. There's no new challenge or training consideration being introduced.

Is 3,000m an Olympic event? If so the half marathon should be too as all the distances roughly double from 100m.

Drank two bottles of wine across a half marathon yesterday. That should be the Olympic standard.
