Camas Lily Fun Run

Lace up your shoes for the scenic Camas Lily Fun Run, taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Fairfield, Idaho. This vibrant community event offers distances for every pace, including a 1-mile run/walk, a 5K run/walk, and a popular 10K (6.2M) run. Participants will be treated to the breathtaking natural beauty of the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh, which, in early June, transforms into a magnificent sea of purple camas lilies. The race is designed as a point-to-point experience, with buses transporting runners to their starting areas, allowing for a picturesque journey back to the marsh where the finish line awaits.

More than just a race, the Camas Lily Fun Run is a cherished part of the annual Camas Lily Days festival, a celebration of this iconic wildflower. All proceeds directly benefit teachers and students in Camas County, fostering a strong sense of community support with every step. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 73°F and lows around 38°F, and a low 7% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for an enjoyable run. Check-in and day-of registration open at 8:00 AM at the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh Park, with bus loading for the start at 9:30 AM.

Known for its family-friendly atmosphere, the event encourages participation from all ages, with kids aged five and under running for free. Runners can anticipate a course framed by abundant wildflowers and local wildlife, making for a truly unique and memorable experience. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with fellow participants, enjoying door prizes, snacks, and awards, and perhaps even stay to explore the wider Camas Lily Days festivities.
