Run Inside the Wire 10K and Full Marathon

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

This unique race will take place completely within the Grafton Correctional secure perimeter. We will run a 3/4 mile loop for either a half or full marathon.

🎟️ Support a Good Cause

• Program Partnership: We will be running with residents that are part of the Running2bwell training program that recently started at GCI and all proceeds will support Running2bwell.
• Recent Donation: We recently bought $5000 worth of shoes for the men at GCI and we're hoping to raise that amount at the race.

👕 Runners' Benefits

• Custom T-Shirt: Runners will receive a custom t-shirt (sizes not guaranteed).
• Unique Experience: Most importantly, you will have the chance to run some miles with men that are working hard to improve their lives on their home court.

👗 Dress Code for Female Runners

Female runners are allowed this year but there is a strict dress code. Shirts must have sleeves, shorts must go mid-thigh. No tight or form-fitting apparel. More rules may follow as I get them.

🚫 Prohibited Items

Do not give anything (hats, shirts, etc.) to the men at GCI.

All runners must be 21 or over.

For security and logistical reasons, we're limiting entries to the first 30 to register.

⏰ Race Day Requirements

You must arrive by 6:15 to clear security. This isn't your usual race.

• Bring Only Essentials: Runners cannot bring anything except water bottles, hats, and watches.
• Security Measures: No phones, headphones, etc. You must bring a photo ID and will need to lock your car keys in a locker at the entry point.
• Search Policy: Everyone is subject to search. While this is one of the safest facilities in the state, it's still a prison, and security for all is the highest priority.
