Overview

Hosted by Bodies Race Company, this family-friendly spring event features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1-mile run, and kids’ dash—all starting at Caledonia High School at 7 am EDT. Now in its annual tradition, the race offers a welcoming blend of certified-chip timing, pacers for half marathoners, and professionally designed shirts and medals.

The half course is a single loop on paved rural lanes through charming pockets of Caledonia Township, with subtle rolling terrain and pockets of tree cover—perfect for runners seeking a spring tune-up without major hills. The scenery includes green fields, neighborhood stretches, and a scenic finish back at the high school.

Aid stations along the route offer water and snacks, while post-race perks feature free photos, treats at the finish line, and a lively awards ceremony. Youth pricing and a virtual option make this race accessible to all.

What makes this event stand out is its combination of hometown charm and polished race-day delivery—from convenient bib pickup to enthusiastic volunteers. It’s a top choice for families, walkers, goal-oriented runners alike, and those drawn to a healthy, local celebration atmosphere.
