HAVE YOU HERD THE MILK RUN IS BACK

Gather your friends and family and run, jog or moooove through the Milk District at the second annual, The Milk Run 5K fueled by TG Lee Dairy, Saturday, May 2, 2026. Participants will run through historic streets of downtown Orlando while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Milk District.

TG Lee Dairy is hosting a community Milk Run and after party with plenty of fun and milk for everyone. The Milk Run sold out last year, so pick up your feet and sign up, fast!

The Milk Run will feature the crowd pleaser, Cow Costume Division. Participants are encouraged to dress in cow or milk themed costumes.
