About the Vermilion River Run 10 Miler
The course follows the Vermilion River through Picard Park in Milton, with a shorter out-and-back option that shares the same route. The terrain runs along the river, and the park setting keeps things shaded and quiet. This is the closing race of a local triple-crown series, so many runners treat it as a long training effort before spring goal races.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local brewery, with a shorter race-morning window at the park itself. Parking at Picard Park is limited, and the lot stays closed until the road reopens after the race, so arriving early and planning to wait a bit is worth knowing ahead of time.

The Vermilion River Run 10 Miler has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
