Gear Western Country Half Marathon

The Gear Western Country Half Marathon and Borton Volvo 5k is a fall running event held in Long Lake, Minnesota, hosted by Gear West. The race features a scenic course showcasing Minnesota's quiet country roads, rolling hills, lakes, and crushed limestone trails, offering a true taste of autumn. Participants can choose between a half marathon and a 5k, with a welcoming, small-town atmosphere enhanced by a Western-themed post-race celebration including music, food, and awards.
