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.
