Run Saturday. Ride Sunday.
Two days. One venue. A full weekend at Uncle John’s.

Saturday kicks things off with the inaugural Uncle John's Orchard Run—5K, 10K and the Double Orchard. Stick around after and enjoy the farm, settle in, and make a weekend of it.

Sunday brings the Uncle John’s Gravel Race. Same start line, different kind of effort. For more details: https://unclejohnsgravelrace.com

Camping on Site
Stay right on the property and enjoy the full experience. 

FREE camping is available starting on Friday continuing through Sunday for both the Uncle John’s Orchard Run (Saturday) and the Uncle John’s Gravel Race (Sunday). There is no limit to the number of tents and RVs that we can accommodate.

RV’s and tent campers are welcome. The camping area will be in a grass field on the Uncle John’s property and will NOT include showers, electrical hookups, water, or sewage hookups. Portable type raised fire pits are welcome, but NO fires are allowed on the grass/ground of the property. We will have a designated area for campers who want to use generators separate from those who do not use them. We will be providing at least one portable bathroom unit for each camping area. Regular bathroom facilities are available in a building near the cider mill barn, but that is quite a walk from the camping area.  Any other questions, contact Dan at: dan@131cyclingseries.com

Putting a team together is simple:

The first person to register creates the team.
They’ll choose a team name and password during registration.
Share those details so others can join when they sign up.
Each team member registers and pays individually—no need for one person to manage it all.

Bonus: Every team member (4 minimum) receives $5 off their registration for teams of four or more! Be sure to select multi-person SignUp pricing.

Runners, walkers and kids start at the lower parking area of the Uncle John's Cider Mill. Head straight into the orchard—apple rows, open farmland, and wide dirt lanes. It’s closed course so it's safe for everyone from the fastest runners and Party in the Backers.

Apples on the trees. Corn turning. Budding pumpkins. That harvest vibe you only get for a few weeks.

Running the 10K? You’ll loop it twice—and the second time you’ll know exactly where to go.

Every runner receives:

A tech shirt

Custom finisher medal

Fresh apple cider at the finish

Chip timing

Commemorative event bib
