Pine County Fun Run

Lace up your shoes for the 22nd Annual Pine County Fun Run, a beloved community tradition taking place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in scenic Pine City, MN. This event offers a distance for every runner and walker, with a 1 Mile Run/Walk, a 5K Walk, a 5K Run, and a 10K Run available. Starting and finishing at the picturesque Pine City Beach, participants can anticipate a scenic route as they make their way through the course. While detailed course specifics are best viewed on the provided race maps, the setting promises a pleasant summer run.

Typical race day conditions in early August bring comfortable highs around 83°F and lows near 59°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating a favorable environment for a morning race. Packet pick-up kicks off at 7:00 A.M. on race day right at Pine City Beach. Beyond the personal challenge, the Pine County Fun Run stands out for its philanthropic mission: all proceeds are proudly donated to East Central, Hinckley-Finlayson, and Pine City School Organizations.

Join fellow runners and community members for a day of fitness and fun, supporting local education. Pre-registered participants who sign up by July 14, 2026, will receive a commemorative race shirt, and awards will be presented to the top two finishers in each age and event category. This community-focused event is an ideal way to enjoy the beauty of Pine City while contributing to a great cause.
