Sandy Beaver Canal Days 2 Mile Run/Walk

On Friday, July 31, 2026, Sandy and Beaver Canal Days will host its annual 2-mile run and walk. The event begins with an earlier "Kit" Run of one mile at 6:30 AM for those looking to start the day early and energized. Immediately following this shorter race is the main attraction – a scenic two-mile journey around Magnolia Square, set to begin at precisely 7:15 AM.
Located in the heart of town where Main Street meets Carrollton Avenue at their iconic traffic light corner, Magnolia Square offers runners and walkers alike an engaging course that winds through historic neighborhoods and along the banks of Sandy and Beaver Canals. The route is designed not only for competition but also to celebrate community spirit with a festive atmosphere.
Participants will be greeted by enthusiastic crowds lining the streets as they make their way past charming local shops, vibrant murals, and lush green spaces. As runners traverse the two-mile loop, they'll experience varied terrain that includes gentle inclines, flat stretches along the canal paths, and brief ascents to overlook scenic vistas of the surrounding area.
