About

The Beat the Manure 5K at the Guilford Fair is a 5K run/walk in Guilford on September 5, 2027, starting at 8:00 a.m. The hilly loop course mixes paved roads, dirt roads and scenic trails, with an uphill challenge followed by a downhill finish.

Awards go to the top male and female finishers overall and to the best in each age group, from kids to seniors. The last runner across the finish line receives an unusual prize: a bag of locally composted horse manure.
