Description

Marquette County Fair Fun Run – Year 4!
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!

We’ll crown:

Best Adult Costume – wins a Marquette County Date Night Basket (valued at $300+ and packed with goodies from local businesses)
Best Kids Costume – wins a “Fluffle” Membership to the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum (valid for one year and covers two adults + all children in the household)
