Aber 5K

Part of a three-day festival to celebrate historic Abercrombie, North Dakota, the races starts and finishes at Abercrombie Park Pavilion, and takes runners on an out-and-back flat terrain past Historical Fort Abercrombie and across the mighty Red River into Minnesota.

Proceeds from this event will go towards renovating the city park and installing a splash pad.

Some of the annual Aber Days events include: Parade through town, market at Park Pavilion, classic car show, Abercrombie Fire & Rescue Rodeo followed by a street dance downtown. The eventful weekend closes with a special all-faith religious service in the park with a potluck meal after. 

This year we are also hosting The Great American Bike Ride on Friday, August 4th with the annual 5K walk/run on Saturday morning with a kids fun run scheduled for immediately after the 5K race. All are welcome.
