Heartland Series Day 5 is part of a multi-day running series organized by Mainly Marathons. The Heartland Series visits the states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota over seven consecutive days. Day 5 is one event within this series.

There is a "Double Down" option which allows participants to run a second, shorter race (5K or 10K) on the same day at a reduced price, after completing their primary, longer race. All races must be completed within a 50K time limit.
Key Features
The event series is known for its inclusive atmosphere with no time limit, welcoming both runners and walkers. Course support remains until the last participant finishes. A wide variety of food and drinks are provided on the course. Participants can earn individual medals for each race day, as well as additional awards for completing multiple races in the series. The event community is described as supportive and social.
The series is designed for participants aiming to run multiple races in consecutive days, collect state completions, or take on longer personal challenges like the multi-series "Running Ragged" events or the annual "Asylum Across America" challenge which involves completing all 75 Mainly Marathons races.
