What is Run LoCo?
Run LoCo is a county wide running challenge presented by the Logan County Visitors Bureau. Weʼve teamed up with established local races across the county to create a single, season long challenge that encourages runners to travel, explore, and experience Logan County along the way.
Participants collect stamps at races, track their progress, and complete six races to earn a custom Run LoCo Challenge Coin.
Along the way, youʼll discover new communities, cheer on local nonprofits, and find plenty of great places to eat, shop, and stay.
