Stearns County Fair Milk Run 5K
The Stearns County Fair Milk Run is a community running event held on the Stearns County Fairgrounds in Sauk Centre in conjunction with the county fair. Routes begin and end on the fairgrounds across from the fair office, near the general livestock and 4H building, and proceed out and back on the Lake Wobegon Trail. The 5K is chip timed by Pickle Events.
Distances include:
- 5K
- 1K Kids Fun Run for ages 12 and under with free registration
Registration details note an early registration fee of $15 for the 5K that increases to $20 after July 24. The 1K Kids Fun Run has no registration fee. Dairy farmers and their immediate family members may be eligible for free registration through a coupon process. Shirt sizes are guaranteed only for registrations completed before the late July cutoff; shirts distributed after that date are first come, first served.
Race entry includes a t-shirt for eligible registrations, a race swag bag, a Passport to Adventures in Agriculture card, and post-race chocolate milk and snacks. Packet pickup and day-of registration are available at the start/finish area. After the races there is a finish line photo op with a calf and opportunities to meet local dairy representatives.
