Lace up for a meaningful 5K experience at the James H. Page Memorial CCD Run/Walk, set to take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in the charming town of Olivia, Minnesota. This uplifting event celebrates the legacy of James H. Page, an avid runner and respected community figure, and is a highlight of Olivia's annual Corn Capital Days festivities. Runners and walkers alike will embark on a scenic 3.1-mile course that begins and ends at the picturesque Sunrise Park on 2nd Street. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 84F and lows near 62F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, making for a generally warm and enjoyable summer run.
