Hit the trail and leave the road behind at the Eighth Annual Sour Grapes Half & Half!
Sour Grapes Half & Half is held at the Northland Arboretum located in the heart of Brainerd/Baxter, Minnesota. The Northland Arboretum offers more than 540 acres of Green Space, including a Norway Pine Plantation, gardens, flower beds and over 20 Kilometers of hiking.
The half marathon course and 10K run cover the beautiful, but challenging terrain of central Minnesota. The race course is a 6.2 mile loop (of which the half marathoners will complete twice with an extra little 3rd loop) that consists of uneven ground, sandy soil and subtle challenging hills.
All participants will be given a t-shirt, a finisher token, and will be treated to a delicious meal (deep fried turkey) at the awards ceremony. Bring the family and join in on the fun, food and camaraderie of running enthusiasts.
So if you are up for a challenge or just want to enjoy nature at its finest; reserve your spot on the starting line today!
Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Northland Arboretum, a non-profit organization.
