TaterFest's Couch Potato 1K/5K!

🏃‍♂️Couch Potato 1K/5K Overview

While originally planned to be only a 5K - these couch potatoes just couldn't muster the energy! For the enjoyment of ALL levels of spud muffins, we are offering a 5k AND 1k option!

📍Check-in Details

Both races will check-in at Lions Park (aka Town Park - 326 Wunder Street). A visual of the route will be available ahead of time, posted online, and physically when you check-in.

🏅5K Race Details

• Start Time: The race, beginning at 8AM, will begin in Lions Park and end at the Town Hall (downtown).
• Check-in: Check-in will be from 7-7:45AM.
• Finish Line: There will be a potato bar for the 5k runners at the finish line and water stations available.
• Perks: All racers will receive a bag of Route 11 potato chips, a voucher for the potato bar, and a tee shirt.

Beginning at 9:30, there will be a hayride to bring you back to Lions Park (or you're welcome to walk/run back - approx. .4mi). All are welcome to stick around and enjoy TaterFest (10-5PM): live music, local farmers market, the wine/brew garden, hayrides, tractor show & MORE!
