Prepare to lace up your running shoes for the 45th Annual Saint Martin's Country Run, a beloved 5K tradition taking place on Sunday, July 26, 2026, in the charming town of Guilford, Indiana. Known as Dearborn County's oldest road race, this event offers runners a unique blend of community spirit and scenic beauty. The 3.1-mile out-and-back course, starting and finishing at St. Martin's Church, guides participants over asphalt roads through the picturesque rolling hills of Yorkville, featuring some small, manageable ascents. Typical race day conditions in late July see highs around 86°F and lows around 67°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but often enjoyable summer run.

Runners can expect a well-organized event focused on their experience. Split times will be provided at each mile, helping you track your progress, and water stations will be available along the course and at the start/finish line to ensure you stay hydrated. Modern restroom facilities are conveniently located in the parish hall both before and after the race. What truly sets this race apart is the vibrant community atmosphere and the promise of a delicious fried chicken dinner awaiting all participants at the finish line, making for an unforgettable day of camaraderie and celebration. This longstanding event, which transitioned from an 8K to a 5K in 2009, continues its legacy of providing an invigorating run through beautiful countryside while benefiting All Saints Parish.
