EVENT DISCONTINUED. From race website: “It’s been a great run! It’s been a wonderful 6 years hanging out with you all at the cidery, watching you crush the course, and toasting with a cold, hard cider at the finish line! While we enjoyed every minute of it, we are sitting out this round so we can focus on our Fall Running Series.”

Less than 45 minutes from most Chicago suburbs is the lovely Jonamac Orchard. While many people recall picking apples here when they were younger, more and more people are getting excited (excidered?) for the new hard cider tasting room. Their cider is made from apples grown and pressed on site, so you know it’ll be the perfect drink at the finish line!
What started off as a fun idea to celebrate Jonamac Orchard’s hard cider has turned into an annual event that welcomes spring! Dash through the orchard in pursuit of a yummy glass of hard cider! All participants of The Hard Cider Run will enjoy a picturesque 5K run or walk before enjoying a complimentary glass of the good stuff. After, stick around and enjoy a great afternoon at the cidery!
Feeling adventurous and, um, hungry? Add on The Hungry Apple Challenge when signing up! We’ll have donut stations at every mile-marker for you to enjoy a scrumptious treat. After you cross the finish line, you’ll receive the standard finisher’s medal as well as the exclusive The Hungry Apple Challenge medal!
Be sure to invite friends and create a team of 4+, as each team member will save $5. Cider, springtime, and friends. Does it get any better?
