Held during the annual Harvest Days Festival in Battleground, Washington, the Harvest Hay Half includes a half marathon, 8K, and a 4K Family Run. Participants of the half marathon and 8K will receive a dri-fit t-shirt, finisher medal, and a post-race celebration that includes a pancake breakfast, beer, a live DJ, and more!
The chip-timed half marathon and 8K are loop courses with aid stations available. Both walkers and runners are welcome with the course closing at 11:30 A.M. The Family 4K allows for families to participate together and pay one fee for the entire family. The Family Run does not include shirts in the cost of registration.
