Garlic Festival Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

Run into stinky fun for the whole family. Celebrate the Elephant Garlic Festival with a half marathon, 10K or 5K run/walk around the City of North Plains and the scenic roads of Washington County. Our new half marathon course completes two loops of a scenic course in the hills of Washington County. The Garlic Festival 10k is part of the ORRC 10K Series. The 10K is a beautiful hilly loop around the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course.

After the race enjoy elephant garlic, custom-made event Fitsok socks, and all that the festival has to offer!

The annual Garlic Festival has a parade, live music, and garlic-themed food and craft vendors to explore following our half marathon, 10K, and 5K events. Experience the rural beauty of the North Plains as you run on quiet farm roads.

Half marathon starts at 7 a.m. (10K starts at 8 am; 5K at 8:15 am). Note that there is a 3 hour time limit for the half marathon due to other events at the Garlic Festival. If you don’t expect to finish by 10 a.m. we strongly encourage you to sign up for the 10K event.
