Apple Dumpling Day Races

The first races were held in 2007. This half marathon is unique cause it uses three different bike tracks and has an exciting tunnel. Elroy is the center of three abandoned railroad tracks that have been converted into bike trails. Lots of shade and beautiful scenery for runners.
