Information about Run in the Country

The Run in the Country is the classic half marathon of the summer — it's fast, it's fun and the rural setting is ideal for the competitive and non-competitive participants alike!

Run in the Country started out 12 years ago to be an event "designed by runners, for runners." We continue to make all of our decisions based on making the race better for the participants. We donate profits from the event to charities, primarily those focused on youth health and fitness. Organizations providing four or more volunteers to the race receive priority when we choose where the profits will be directed.

Run in the Country consists of three events followed by awards and a raffle:

Reminders

Insurance restrictions require us to exclude any wheeled devices (except for racing wheelchairs) from the course. Dogs and baby strollers not allowed. Roads will remain open to traffic and our County permit requires that we run in the direction of traffic (not against it).

Volunteers

We can always use more volunteers! To volunteer email us at racedirector@RunInTheCountry.com. A good rule of thumb: run five and volunteer for one.
