Fowl Fun Run 5K & 10K

Fowl Fun Run 5K & 10K is held in Mount Vernon, Washington, on November 14, 2026, with both the 10K (6.2 miles) and the 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 10:00 a.m. Skagit Runners organizes the event, which is run on flat farm roads in the Skagit Valley, and there is a free half-mile race for children aged eight and under. Every finisher receives a medal, the first three men and women earn special awards, and food and refreshments follow, with pumpkin pies among the prizes.

Flat roads and a late start make this a sensible place to run for a time rather than simply to finish. With no hills to break the rhythm you can settle into one pace early and hold it, which is exactly what a 10K rewards: eight weeks of four runs a week, one of them a 20-minute tempo.
