From the Organizer

Two days. One farm. Full fall weekend.

Uncle John’s Weekend kicks off with the Orchard Run on Saturday, bringing runners onto the farm for a 5K and 10K set in the apple orchards and open fields of Uncle John’s Cider Mill. Want to run them both? No problem. Start times are staggered this year for those that want to grab those extra miles. It’s crisp air, dirt under your feet, and a course that feels like Michigan in September. We are also offering the Johnny Appleseed's Kids Run, a half mile course, with a finishing medal and cider at the finish.

This race is dog-friendly. Come for the run. Stay for the weekend.
