St. Urho 5K/10K

45th Annual 5k Run/Walk/Stroller and 10k Run

Saturday, July 11th at 9:00 a.m.

This event is put on by the UNC Cross Country Booster Club and all proceeds benefit the UNC cross-country athletes.

The 5k starts in downtown Menahga in front of The Cotty and finishes at the St. Urho statue. The 10k starts by the ball fields, runs around Stocking Lake (including a trail component) and finishes at the St. Urho statue. There is also a 5k stroller division for those who have an extra "running buddy."

There are many prizes donated by area businesses including the grand prize of a Garmin watch that will be randomly drawn for all participants that stick around after the race. Other prizes include six $100 gift certificates to the Endurunce Shop in Brainerd/St. Cloud and TC Running Company, local gift certificates, and donated swag from local businesses. Well over $1200 worth of prizes donated the last year.

Race starts at 9 and prizes will start at 10:30. In case of rain, prizes will be awarded in the Menahga high school commons.
