Garlic Festival – Half Marathon, 10K & 5K and Brunch

2023 registration opens in March 2023.

Celebrate the North Plain’s Elephant Garlic Festival with a half marathon, 10K or 5K run/walk around the city and Washington County scenic roads. Stinky fun for the whole family. The annual Garlic Festival features a parade, live music and garlic-themed food and craft vendors to explore following our half marathon, 10K, and 5K events. Experience the rural beauty of the North Plains as you run on quiet farm roads.

NW Cottage Street, between NW 321 and NW 324 in North Plains.
