Oct. 14th: Giddy on up! The Gear Western 5K and ½ Marathon is rounding up runners!

The Gear Western Country Half Marathon and Borton Volvo 5K are small-town events on October 14th, with a big-time feel. Our course offers you a taste of Minnesota with quiet country roads, rolling hills, lakes, and crushed limestone trails. After finishing, linger for some unique Western-themed post-race refreshments, and of course awards! We will be hanging out, having fun, and cheering on every participant.

We always do SWAG right. Expect updates on our Western-themed swag over the next couple of months!

We will also continue our Hobby Horse division in 2023. There is no separate sign-up, just show up with a hobby horse. But expect a lot of extra cheers AND prizes at the finish line.
