The Pillsbury Push 5K/10K is organized by the Kerkhoven Parks and Rec committee. This year the 2025 Pillsbury Push will be held on Saturday, July 26 at 8 a.m.
The 5k course is on flat, paved roads in Kerkhoven, Minnesota. The 10k course is mostly paved roads with about 1.5 miles of mowed grass on the golf course. There is also a short distance of gravel road. Water stops every couple of miles.
We are offering something different this year. We are offering the option of getting a T-shirt or not and if you choose to not get a T-shirt, your entrance fee is less. If you choose to get a T-Shirt, there is an additional $5.00 fee. The registration fee is even less if you register during one of the 3 dates with discounted rates.
When you get to the "Giveaway" section of registration, that is where you choose a T-shirt size if you want one and it will add on the additional $5.00 fee. If you don't want a T-Shirt, scroll down to the "I don't want a T-shirt" option, click on that option and you won't be charged any additional fees
Only the 10K Race is part of the Glacial Lakes Championship Running Series.
After the run, there will be children’s games and a children’s tractor pull, a flea market, firemen’s feed, kiddie rides, swimming and a parade, all part of the annual Kerkhoven Town and Country Days. Please feel free to stay and enjoy the day.
