4th Annual Marquette County Fair Fun Run
Lace up your sneakers and get ready to kick off fair weekend the right way—we’re back with the 4th Annual Marquette County Fair Fun Run! This ~1.5 mile run/walk is all about fun, community, and a little friendly competition. We’ll be awarding prizes to the 1st place male and female finishers, so bring your A-game… or just come for the good time.
NEW THIS YEAR: Costume Contest! Before the race, we’re adding a little extra flair with a barnyard-themed costume contest at 10:15 AM (just before the run starts). Think cows, chickens, farmers, pigs—anything that feels at home on the farm!
