Capital 10-Miler – a run for the arts

This 10 mile race benefits many area arts organizations. The event will start and finish on City Island, with the course including the riverfront, Capital Area Greenbelt, and the scenic bridges over the Susquehanna.

​“Last year’s race attracted a lot of interest,” reports Mary Lou Harris, the event founder and director, who is a local marathon runner and regional arts supporter. “Over 600 runners registered last year and we expect more this year.”

Registrants over the years included runners from several Mid-Atlantic and New England states as well as local and regional participants. Registrations begin in early 2018 and are limited.

The Capital 10-Miler is administered by Open Stage of Harrisburg, a not-for-profit professional regional theatre, funded, in part, by the Cultural Enrichment Fund, the capital region’s united arts fund. Open Stage of Harrisburg is a Constituent of Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for American theatre.
