Millers Ice Cream Run

The Millers Ice Cream Run returns to Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta on Sunday, June 14th. This event offers a family-friendly atmosphere with two distances available for participants of all ages: the 5K Family Fun Run and the Kids K run.
Race morning finds runners gathering at McMillan Park, located in the heart of Sherwood neighbourhood, close to MacEwan University. The park's well-tended trails provide a picturesque setting as families and friends gather before the start. Early June mornings bring cool temperatures around 10°C, making for comfortable conditions despite the moderate UV index.
Since its inception in 2024, this event has grown from small beginnings to become an established annual tradition. Each year, hundreds of participants join together in support of Families First Society, a local charity that provides essential services and resources to families in need. The race not only offers fun runs for all ages but also ensures every participant receives a commemorative T-shirt, medal, and ice cream post-race.
The 5K Family Fun Run features firm yet slightly soft trails within McMillan Park. For those running with children under the age of 12, there is an additional Kids K run available. Both distances offer scenic routes that wind through the park’s natural beauty, providing a gentle challenge for runners of all abilities.
Starting and finishing at McMillan Park ensures easy access to support services such as aid stations, though none are mentioned in this data. The race runs on firm ground with no significant elevation changes, making it accessible yet engaging for participants. Although June weather can be unpredictable, the typical conditions suggest a comfortable temperature range of 10°C to 20°C, with moderate UV levels indicating a sunny day but without intense heat.
