About the June Dairy Days Churn & Burn 5k Run/Walk

The Churn & Burn is a 5K built around Markesan's Dairy Days celebration, so the race has the feel of a town event rather than a standalone running race. Dogs on leashes are welcome, which tells you something about the atmosphere.

An awards ceremony follows the race directly, with top finishers across age categories for both men and women recognized. Registration is open through race morning, with a deadline that afternoon to get on the start list.

Common Questions About the June Dairy Days Churn & Burn 5k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the June Dairy Days Churn & Burn 5k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:07, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the June Dairy Days Churn & Burn 5k Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (59 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the June Dairy Days Churn & Burn 5k Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:04 while the median finisher took 34:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
