2011 Run in the Country
Preliminary results have been posted here.
Pictures, by Long Run Picture Company can be found here.
The 2011 Run In the Country Half Marathon was on Sunday, July 17, 2011. The Run In the Country is the classic half marathon of the summer. It's flat, it's fast, it's walker friendly, and it's set in a beautiful rural location. The race is an ideal event for either a fun run with friends or a shot at your half marathon personal record.
2011 Race Updates
Packet Pick Up:
Packet pickup and registration will be at the Coburg Community Grange on Saturday July 16 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Grange is in downtown Coburg at 32661 East Mill St (between Willamette and Harrison streets). Packets can also be picked up on race day at the registration tent on the corner of Diamond and McKenzie Streets.
Late Registration Fee Eliminated:
The additional $10 registration fee for registrations after July 1 has been eliminated! You can still register for the race for $50. Registration continues online through July 15 or with a paper entry delivered to Eugene Running Company by July 9. After that you can register at packet pick up or on race day.
Day of Race Registration:
For the first time, we will be offering day of race registration. Just show up on race day at the registration tent with a check or cash and we'll set you up. Race shirts for day of race registrants will be mailed following the event.
Course Certification:
Our course has been measured per USATF requirements, but certification of the course measurement remains in process.
Race shirts:
Reminder that, due to the need to pre-order and print the race shirts, shirts will be provided at packet pick up only for those who registered July 1 or earlier. Anyone registering after July 1will have their shirt mailed to them following the race.
