  We are so excited to announce the inaugural Harmon Field Half Marathon & Morris Fun Run! After Harmon Field was devastated by Hurricane Helene in 2024, it is now repaired and back open! We are excited to welcome back this much loved, scenic, out-and-back, 13.1-mile race through the beautiful Hunting Country of Polk County, NC. Our hope for this inaugural race is that it brings together runners, walkers, spectators, and families for a day of fitness, fun, and community impact. The proceeds of this race will support Harmon Field special projects.

  Our unique race course has been loved by runners for many years. We hope you will join us this spring for a new perspective on this beautiful route! We have also added a fun addition to this race, a Morris Fun Run! This fun run will be 2 miles and will take in the beauty of Harmon Field. Perfect for kids and families to come out and enjoy the day! Morris is the beloved Tryon Horse and can be seen at the intersection of Trade Street and Pacolet Street in Downtown Tryon! Don't forget to stop by and take a selfie with him while you are in town!

  The Harmon Field Half Marathon has a 4-hour cut-off time (8:00am start-12:00pm cut off).

  After extensive damage to our former venue, Outreach has selected Tryon International for our 14th annual “Run for Outreach” fundraising event, the Tryon Half Marathon and Fall for the Foothills 5K.

  Brought to you by our longtime partner Ashworth Financial, this exciting new off-road race offers an invigorating experience at one of the country’s premier equestrian venues. Spanning over 1,600 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Tryon International is home to world-class arenas, stables, and riding trails, many of which serve as the backdrop for the course. This one of a kind trail run blends the energy of a working equestrian center with the stillness of nature in late fall and offers a truly immersive off-road experience.
