About the 2027 Vidalia Onion Run
The Vidalia Onion Run is a Kiwanis Club fundraiser held during the Vidalia Onion Festival, and it carries history you can feel on the course. Several distance options draw everyone from serious runners chasing cash prizes for course records to kids doing a short fun run. Aid stations with water and electrolyte drinks are spaced along the longer courses, and fruit and fluids are at the finish.
Packet pickup the evening before is in downtown Vidalia at a spot that also serves as the race-morning hub. Race-day packets are available in the same parking lot before the start, and in-person registration is open there as well. No pets are allowed on the course or in the finish area, service animals excepted.

The 2027 Vidalia Onion Run has been held every year since at least 2014. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
