Donut Dash 5K

Sunday, November 8 at 9AM

Lace up and hit the farm for the Donut Dash 5K at Milburn Orchards on Sunday, November 8, 2026! This scenic fall 5K takes you through the heart of the farm, along the hayride trail, through the apple orchard, around the BIG BackYard, through the berry patch, and along beautiful views of Big Elk Creek.
Whether you’re enjoying a morning walk with friends, racing for a personal best, or simply participating for the donut at the finish line, there’s something for everyone. And the best part? Your registration includes a fresh apple cider donut AND admission to the Fall Festival, so once you’ve crossed the finish line, stick around and make a full day of fall fun at Milburn Orchards!
