RACE DAY INFO
The 2023 Kleefeld Honey Run is taking place on Saturday, September 16 at 10am.
Registration opens April 1st with a race capacity of 230 runners. Register by September 9th. First 125 registrants receive our FREE swag item in their race kits.
What do we have planned for this year??
Once again, we are keeping the cost low because it is important to us that it is a community event the ENTIRE family can participate in. $15 per runner or family rates of $40 for a family of 3, and $10 for each additional runner up to a total of 6 family members. Strollers are welcome (please start at the back); however, bikes, motorized chairs, and animals are requested to stay off the route.
With this registration, the first 125 registrants will receive a FREE swag item and every participant will receive a honey stick as they cross the Finish Line! Stick around for perogies afterwards generously donated by the Kleefeld Perogy Shop and then visit Fields Market for a slice of pizza!
Chip timing went over very well the last couple of years, so this added feature will be returning. We also have lots of honey to be won generously donated by Bartel Honey Farms for our top runners in each category and OV Honey Farms for additional prizes.
Interested in winning CASH PRIZES?? Top male and females win cash prizes AND additional prize money if a male or female breaks the current Manitoba Runners Association 5km best time of the season on a certified course in their category. The prize money will be broken down as follows:
Male (all ages)
1st $100
2nd $50
3rd $25
Female (all ages)
1st $100
2nd $50
3rd $25
For both males and females (separately): if you set the fastest official 5km time for the 2022 Manitoba Road Race season, you will win an ADDITIONAL $100!! PLUS a random $100 draw will be performed for any registered runner to receive. The times to beat will be shared closer to Race Day.
This year we have our stroller category again! If you complete the Kleefeld Honey Run with a stroller (and a real kid inside) you will automatically enter into our official stroller category that RIVR Financial sponsored. You will run for a chance to win diapers! Good luck!
Race kit pickup is the morning of the race from 7:45am-9:15am near the start line- 76 Park Avenue. We will NOT have Race Day Registration. Registration closes September 9th.
Follow us on IG @kleefeldhoneyrun and Facebook for NEW additions we have planned for this year.

We are proud to be an MRA Classic Series Event!
