My whole crew looks forward to the Country Run every year. We dress up like country bumpkins, tackle the fun course smattered with hay bales, inflatable animals, and farm trucks, then have a blast at the celebratory Country Fair with complimentary carnival games, live music, and free treats galore. It’s a great morning, even for those of us who prefer to amble through the picturesque park at our own pace. The Country Run is all about having good old-fashioned fun with the family, so no racing is required!

Country Fair

The Country Fair opens in Dell Diamond at 8:30 a.m. on race day, with more down-home country fun than you can shake a stick at: carnival booths, face painting, balloon twisting, live music, a beer garden, food, and giveaways. Everything at the fair is included in the price of registration. So, as long as you register in advance with the code FREEFUN, you will get everything for FREE! (Just be sure to show your ID at check-in to get a wristband, if you plan to visit the beer garden.)
