St. Joseph Fun Days 5K Race and Kids Fun Run
The St. Joseph Fun Days 5K Race and Kids Fun Run takes place in Marion, Iowa. This evening athletic event serves as the opening activity for the broader St. Joseph Fun Days festival. The start and finish lines for the races are situated directly on the festival grounds, positioned near the bingo tent to keep participants close to the central event activities.
The event offers two distinct distances for participants:
- 0.5 Miles (Kids Fun Run)
- 5K
The 0.5 Miles distance is designated as a Kids Fun Run specifically for children aged 10 and under. The 5K distance is open to other participants. For the 5K race, awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top finishers within specific age groups. Additionally, prizes are distributed to random finishers of the 5K race.
Early registration is required for participants who wish to guarantee a commemorative shirt, with a specific cutoff date in mid-May. Packet pick-up is organized at the St. Joseph Church parking lot on the evening before the race and also during the late afternoon on the day of the event. After the completion of the races, participants have access to the various attractions and activities hosted on the festival grounds.
