The Iron Horse Half Marathon, 12k & 5k 2026

The Iron Horse Half Marathon, 12k & 5k is a fall race series in Midway offering in-person half marathon, wheelchair half marathon, 12k, and 5k races. Virtual options for the half marathon, 12k, or 5k are also available. The in-person races provide a no-shirt registration option for a simpler entry. The half marathon is the event's longest-standing race, with the 12k introduced later and the 5k being the most recent addition. Race-week features include personalized bibs, age-group awards, complimentary race photo downloads, a substantial finisher medal, and Iron Horse artwork on the technical shirt and a frameable poster by local artist Cricket Press. An official shakeout run takes place the day before the race, with packet pickup available through John’s Run/Walk Shop. Packets can be shipped to out-of-town runners, and there is no packet pickup on race day.
