It is a fun event for the whole family that takes place each year during Willmar Fests. The race is a four-mile, USATF-certified course that starts in downtown Willmar, winds along beautiful Foot Lake and the scenic trails of Robbins Island, then passes over the First Street bridge before returning to Rice Memorial Hospital. Runners will be timed using electronic chips included inside each race bib. Water stops are provided at two locations along the route, and splits are available at the one, two, and three-mile marks. Bleachers are set up near the finish line at 2nd Street and Becker Avenue for spectators, family, and friends.
Virtual racing is an option again this year. There is an extra $5 charge to pay for shipping of the shirt.
Shirt sizes are ONLY guaranteed for registrations prior to midnight on June 9th. Race day t-shirts are distributed on a “first come, first served” basis.
