Stewartville Summerfest Runs

Pre-registration closes at NOON on July 3rd each year to manage pre-registered assignments, race prep, and t-shirt giveaways to pre-registered runners.  Race Day registration has a rate increase and has no guarantee for correct t-shirt size.   

The 2026 Stewartville Summerfest Run/Walk consists of three opportunities for runners, joggers, and walkers.  There is a Five-mile course, a Three-mile course, and an opportunity for the truly brave to run both the five-mile and three-mile routes, back-to-back!  Our Five-Mile event is proud to be a member of the Rochester Running Club's Grand Prix Series. The Stewartville Summerfest Runs start and end in Stewartville's beautiful Florence Park.  The course covers multiple running surfaces including city streets, paved bike trail, gravel road, paved highway, grassy meadow, and woodland traveling through Meadow Park, the always stunning Bear Cave Park before finishing in Florence Park, near the pond.  Participants are not on any one surface for more than a half a mile at any one time.  The Stewartville Cross Country Booster Club use the funds raised to donate to local youth groups and organizations each year as well as support the Stewartville High School Cross Country teams.
