Vermont Dairy Festival Milk Run

The Vermont Dairy Festival Milk Run invites runners and walkers to experience the picturesque dairy country of Enosburg Falls on Sunday, June 7, 2026. This 10K loop race is a highlight of the annual Vermont Dairy Festival, a cherished community celebration of the state's rich dairy farming heritage. The course promises scenic views along the Missisquoi River, featuring moderate hills that offer a rewarding challenge and glimpses into the heart of rural Vermont.

The race kicks off for runners at 9:00 a.m., with walkers starting slightly earlier at 8:30 a.m.. Beginning on West Enosburg Road, just off Main Street, the route guides participants through charming local roads including Hayes Farm Road, Davis Road, and Boston Post Road, before a 1/3 mile stretch on Route 105. A unique 2.4-mile segment on the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail leads into Enosburg Village, with the finish line awaiting at Lincoln Park on Main Street. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 72°F and lows around 48°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the scenic course, the Vermont Dairy Festival Milk Run holds special significance as a primary fundraiser for the Enosburg Falls Lions Club, with all proceeds reinvested into local community projects. For 2026, the race is also a proud component of the Franklin County Triple Crown, a series recognizing the importance of agriculture and promoting healthy lifestyles in the region. Participants in all three Triple Crown races receive a commemorative item and are entered into a drawing for exciting prizes, adding an extra layer of motivation to this already engaging event.
