Fairfax Egg Run
The Fairfax Egg Run is a family-friendly community event hosted by the Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department in Fairfax, Vermont. It offers multiple distance options and a kids fun run for participants 12 years old and under.
- 5K Run
- 5K Fun Walk
- 10K Run
- Kids Fun Run for ages 12 and under
The course includes views of the Lamoille River and features gentle rolling hills. After the event, participants can enjoy a made-to-order omelet in the food tent and other post-race refreshments. T-shirts are available for purchase; the deadline to order shirts is July 24th.
Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in both the 5K and 10K runs, and awards are given to top performers in each age group. Race registration automatically enters participants into a post-race raffle with many prizes.
Pre-registration fees through June 1st are $25 for adults and $20 for youths (17 and under) and seniors (65 and older). Prices increase after June 1st, and day of in-person registration carries an additional upcharge.
The event also serves as a fundraiser for local community projects. Proceeds have supported a playground, recreational fields, the community recreation path, and improvements to community spaces such as the James Herbert Bellows Fairfax Community Center and the Garland House Renovation. The Egg Run is part of the Franklin County Triple Crown series; participants in all three races receive a commemorative tote bag and are entered into a prize drawing, with swag distributed at bib pickup on August 6 and 7, 2027.
