Join us for the 45th Annual Fowl Fun Run on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at 10 am starting at
Mount Vernon Christian School in Mount Vernon, WA. We are excited to offer indoor staging for the 2023 event! We offer two distances:
a 5K run/walk and a 10K run. Both courses are USATF-certified and are run on flat, low-traffic farm roads in the Skagit Valley.
Stay for food, refreshments and for the opportunity to win a pumpkin pie!

40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70-74, 75-79, 80 and over. The age divisions will be the same for both the 10K and the 5K.
Awards will be given to the overall male and female winners in both races. The top 3 finishers
in each age division will receive ribbons. Instead of handing out awards outside after the race, we will be
mailing all age-group awards this year. Finishing position for
awards is determined by gun time, not chip time.
Beat the Turkey!
Tom Turkey will be starting the 10K five minutes after the gun. Finish the 10K ahead of him and
receive a special award at the finish line!
