Run the Valley started as a small 10K race in 1998. Since then, the small town race has grown into one of the regions top events. It's a great family event with runners having a Fun Run, 5K, 10K & 1/2 Marathon to choose from. Plus, it's part of the Best of Badin Festivities.
The race starts in Badin at the post office.
There are group runs meeting at the Badin Post Office at the following times:

(Thanks to Sherri McRae's son for putting together the above picture from Sunday morning's practice run.)
The 1/2 Marathon takes runners through Morrow Mountain State Park to the top of the very scenic Morrow Mountain!
