Root River Trail Head and finish at Trailside Holsteins dairy farm. This event is a fun run/walk open to all individuals and families regardless of age and/or skill level. Registration will be at the trail head from 8am to 8:45am with the run beginning at 9am. The course will take runners and walkers 2.5 miles downhill on the scenic Root River Trail concluding at Trailside Holsteins where refreshments and dairy snacks will be provided. An award ceremony will take place at 10am with awards given to the top male and female runners. A free shuttle back to the Fountain trail head will be available from 9:30am until noon.
100 percent of the proceeds from the Milk Fun[D] Run will be donated to the Milk Fund at Fillmore Central Schools.
