Lace up for the scenic Lake Region Run on June 6, 2026, in picturesque Fergus Falls, MN. This premier event, a staple in the lakes area since 2007, offers a distance for every runner with a 10-Mile, 10-Mile 2-Person Relay, 5K, and 1-Mile fun run. Experience the beautiful scenery of the Fergus Falls area, with courses winding around Lake Alice, through Butterfly Park, and past local landmarks. While the terrain is primarily road, be prepared for challenging hills, particularly on the 10-mile course, which promises to test even experienced runners.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in early June, with highs around 76°F and lows near 55°F, and a 14% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. Aid stations along the routes provide water and porta-potties at strategic points, including miles 3, 6, 8, and 9 for the 10-Mile race and near mile 2 for the 5K. All races start and finish on Mill Street, near the Lake Region Healthcare Clinic and Dr. Allen Magnuson Park, where post-race food awaits. Every participant will receive a finisher's medal, celebrating their accomplishment.

More than just a race, the Lake Region Run fosters a strong sense of community and camaraderie, with many participants running in honor of loved ones or to raise awareness for important causes. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Lake Region Healthcare's Cancer Care and Research Center, providing an inspiring reason to push your limits and enjoy the stunning Minnesota landscape.
