Pony Express Half Marathon & 5K

The Pony Express Half Marathon & 5K takes place annually in downtown Marysville, alongside the Pony Express Gravel Dash bike race. Participants run through Marysville and the scenic Blue River Rail Trail, featuring varying landscapes and multiple bridges. Both races are timed, with participants receiving a t-shirt and half marathon finishers earning a medal. Virtual participation is available, allowing runners to submit their results remotely. Activities and food are offered throughout the day, with proceeds benefiting St. Gregory the Great Catholic School PTO. Registration is required in advance, with no same-day options or refunds.
