Farm 5K For a Cure

Farm 5K For A Cure is a fundraising running event held in Mount Vernon, Iowa at Bass Farms (840 Bass Ln). It offers three events: a 5K Run, a 1.5K Walk, and a 5K Kid Run. This new timed race supports the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Linn County, with proceeds funding cancer research grants, lodging near treatment centers, and patient support.

The route runs on grass with small inclines, and timing is provided by Fitness Sports, with race bibs and chips for accuracy. The event aims to foster a community, farm‑style atmosphere as participants run along the crops to support the cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
