The Strawberry Festival is excited to work with the East Linn Christian Cross Country & Track Team to offer a 5k (3.1 mile) race event immediately before our Grand Parade. We also offer a shortened option as a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk. The course begins and ends on Main Street, right near the American Legion, with registration and packet pickup taking place in the American Legion’s parking lot. Be sure and arrive early to allow for time to park–things can get a bit congested with both the race and parade-day traffic.

Our course is flat, and an out and back style running right along our Grand Parade route. Participants of all ages and abilities can take part in this event and have the chance to enjoy running down Lebanon’s Main St. with all of the parade crowds cheering you on! So bring your family out and participate in this family friendly event before watching the Grand Parade!
