The Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation proudly announces the return of its 13th Annual Milk Run/Walk, taking place Saturday, May 16, 2026, at Ramsey’s Farm in Wilmington. After raising more than $266,000 over the past 12 years, the event continues its mission of nourishing Delaware families by providing access to milk and supporting agricultural education across the state.
To build on the success from previous years, this year’s event will feature a 2-mile health walk and 10k trail run alongside the traditional 5k trail run. Runner registration is $35 through May 8 and $40 after that date. Day of registration opens at 8:00am and the race begins at 9:00am. The Milk Run/Walk is open to everyone, walkers and runners of all ages!
Proceeds from the event support hunger relief and educational programs across the state. The Ministry of Caring’s “Milk for Children Fund” provides milk as part of the meals served to those in need in the Wilmington area. The Food Bank of Delaware’s Backpack Program ensures that students have meals on weekends and holidays when school is not in session. The Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation brings hands-on agricultural education into classrooms across the state to develop our communities’ agricultural literacy.
This event also offers numerous sponsorship opportunities for businesses and organizations looking to support the event’s mission.
