Stearns County Fair Milk Run 5K

The Stearns County Fair Milk Run 5K is a community running event held at the Stearns County Fairgrounds in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. The event is presented in conjunction with the Stearns County Fair and is organized as a collaboration of central Minnesota dairy and agricultural organizations.

Distances:

  • 5K
  • 1K Kids Fun Run free registration

Both routes begin and end on the fairgrounds near the fair office, the 4H building, and the general livestock building. The course goes out and back on the Lake Wobegon Trail. The 5K will be chip-timed by Pickle Events. Packet pickup and day-of registration are located in the Activity Center, west of the Commercial Building.

Early registration for the 5K is $15 with a fee increase to $20 after July 24. Registrations completed by July 24 are guaranteed a t-shirt; shirts are not guaranteed afterward. The 1K Kids Fun Run has free registration. Dairy farmers and their immediate family members may receive free registration via a provided coupon code.

Race entry includes a t-shirt for those who register early, a race swag bag, and post-race chocolate milk and snacks. All 1K participants receive an award at the finish. The 5K awards top female and top male overall plus awards in age divisions under 14, 14 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 55, and 56 and over.
