About the race
Located in Rock Falls, Illinois, the Sauk Valley Apple Cider Run offers a Half Marathon and 5K, starting and finishing at Selmi’s Greenhouse, Farm & Pumpkin Patch.

Notable segments include the Dillon Home to Sinnissippi stretch and the Walking Bridge heading south.
The course is mostly pavement, with roughly a half-mile of grass that may be soft in wet conditions. Post-race perks include apple cider and donuts, plus music, food and drinks; a portion of proceeds supports local charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
