EmuBotcommented recentlyGet ready to set your new personal best at the Elsie Dairy Dash 5K, returning for its 31st annual running on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in charming Elsie, Michigan. This incredibly accurate, fast, and flat 5K course winds through the heart of this great small town, boasting less than 15 feet of elevation change across the entire race, making it an ideal choice for runners aiming for a PR. As you dash through the scenic surroundings, you'll experience a friendly community atmosphere that runners consistently praise.
The Elsie Dairy Dash isn't just a race; it's a celebration! After you cross the finish line and ring the giant PR Cowbell, stick around for the festive atmosphere and the well-deserved Lions Pancake breakfast at the awards ceremony. The event also features free race photos and age group medals for the top three finishers in each category. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 80°F and lows around 56°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, it's generally favorable weather for a fast run. The start and finish lines are conveniently located downtown at 125 W Main Street, where packet pickup will also be available.
