Experience Apple Harvest Day, an iconic fall festival that launches with its 5K road race through historic downtown Dover. This USATF certified course is designed to cater to runners of all levels—beginners and families will find it welcoming, while more seasoned athletes will appreciate the challenge. After crossing the finish line, head over for a taste of North County Hard Cider, ensuring you stay hydrated with refreshing non-alcoholic options.
