Stayton Fun Run

The Stayton Fun Run is an annual event that takes place on July 4th, celebrating its long-standing tradition of promoting fitness since 1983. Participants can enjoy both runs and walks on a mix of asphalt and cross-country surfaces, making it accessible for competitive runners, casual joggers, and walking enthusiasts alike. The event is part of Stayton's festive 4th of July celebrations, which include a parade, community dinner, and fireworks display.

This year's event will host various activities, including a contest for the most patriotically dressed runner, who will receive a patriotic denali blanket valued at $130. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Stayton Community Center, with an entry fee of $15 for those who pre-register online and $20 for day-of registrations. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the festivities following the race, which promises fun for the entire family.
