Runtoberfest is back after taking a hiatus due to the pandemic in 2020. The annual fun run and walk raises funds for MSD students and is sponsored by the McMinnville Education Foundation (MEF).

Held in Wortman Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 9 a.m., the event includes a 5k run/walk and a one mile kids’ run. The 12-and-under kids’ mile run takes place on the track just before the 5k begins. Click for more information and to register.

Runtoberfest is one of the ways MEF provides support and enrichment to district students, including the teacher mini-grant program, Battle of the Books, Science Experiences and the Artist-in-Residence project.
