About the Berry Half/10K/5K
The races run entirely on the Berry College campus, which means no public roads and a lot of open, forested land with deer grazing nearby. The half marathon route passes a chapel, an old mill, and dairy barns before winding back on a named trail. Most of it is paved, with short stretches of packed dirt and gravel mid-course. The course is mostly flat with a handful of moderate climbs.
The half marathon and the shorter distance start together, so the early miles have some company before the routes split. The finish is at a cluster of historic buildings on the main campus, and college volunteers staff the course throughout.

The Berry Half/10K/5K has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
