Parade 5000 Road Run -Elkhart County 4-H Fair

Get ready for the exhilarating Parade 5,000 race, where you'll dash down the same route as the Elkhart County Fair Parade—under the cheers of thousands! It's a warm-weather challenge, so hydrating is key, and we encourage a sub-50-minute finish to stay ahead of the parade itself. To keep things smooth, it's runners only, though strollers are welcome, no pets, please. And hey, why not jazz things up with a costume? Sign-up quick to be one of the first 200 and bag an exclusive race shirt! The race kicks off around 1:20 pm, but be there earlier to check-in at Corporate Tent 1 for your bib number and shirt. Remember, no official number, no run. After your triumphant finish, cool down with ice towels, and to cap it all off, the top male and female winners sprint away with $100 for new tennis shoes, thanks to Woldruff's Footwear. Join us, support a great tradition, and make your mark on the Parade 5,000 race!
