Event Description

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?


Packet pick-up is available the day before the race from 4-7PM at the cidery as well as on race morning beginning two hours prior to race start. Consider coming to Friday night packet pick-up to avoid race day lines (and enjoy a cider!)
