Eckert's Belleville Farm Donut Dash 5K

Embark on a deliciously fun journey at the Eckert's Belleville Farm Donut Dash 5K, set for Saturday, June 6, 2026, in scenic Belleville, IL. This unique, donut-themed 5K run/walk is a perfect blend of fitness and indulgence, offering an engaging experience for the whole family amidst the picturesque landscape of Eckert's Belleville Farm. Participants will be treated to a super soft ring-spun cotton t-shirt and a quirky donut-themed finisher medal, commemorating their achievement.

The course promises "amazing scenery" and a "scenic view of the orchard and farm". Runners and walkers will navigate a mix of paved paths and some grass/cross-country style terrain as they wind through the farm's beautiful grounds. Be mindful of two-way traffic on the pedestrian bridge around miles one and two, where participants are asked to stay to the right. Typical race day conditions in early June include highs around 86°F and lows around 64°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, making for potentially warm but generally pleasant running weather.

What truly sets this event apart is the promise of a delicious donut awaiting every finisher at the finish line. Beyond the chip-timed 5K, the fun continues with free race photos to capture your sweet victory. Moreover, the Donut Dash conveniently coincides with Eckert's annual Cider Daze Festival, inviting participants to linger and enjoy hard ciders, live music, and food trucks from noon until 4 PM, creating a full day of farm-fresh festivities.
