Run in the Yard Grafton 1/2 Marathon & 5K
Sat May 2, 2026
This unique race will take place completely within the Grafton Correctional secure perimeter. We will run a 3/4 mile loop for either a 5k or half marathon. We will be running with residents that are part of the Running2bwell training program that recently started at GCI and all proceeds will support Running2bwell. We recently bought $5000 worth of shoes for the men at GCI and we're hoping to raise that amount at the race. Runners will receive a custom t-shirt (sizes not guaranteed). Most importantly, you'll have the chance to run some miles with men that are working hard to improve their lives on their homecourt.
Important Notes:
- Female runners are allowed but there is a strict dress code: Shirts must have sleeves, shorts must go mid-thigh, sweats should be worn to enter but can be taken off when running. No tight or form-fitting apparel.
- All runners must be 21 or over.
- Entries are limited to the first 30 to register.
- You must arrive by 6:00 am to clear security.
- Runners cannot bring anything except water bottles, hats, and watches. No phones, headphones, etc.
- You must bring a photo id and will need to lock your car keys in a locker at the entry point.
- Everyone is subject to search.
