Gear Western Country Half Marathon & Borton Volvo 5k
The Gear Western Country Half Marathon and Borton Volvo 5k is a small town event with a big time feel. Our course offers you a taste of Minnesota with quiet country roads, rolling hills, lakes, and crushed limestone trails. After finishing, linger for some unique western themed post race refreshments, and of course awards! We will be hanging out, having fun, and cheering on every participant.
We always do SWAG right. Expect updates on our Western themed swag over the next couple of months!
We will also continue our Hobby Horse division in 2023. There is no separate sign up, just show up with a hobby horse. But expect a lot of extra cheers AND prizes at the finish line.
