Recurring 10K races near Janesville-Beloit
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Panting Four Paws
Panting for Paws hosts 5K and 10K runners and walkers at West Florence High School for its annual animal-shelter fundraiser. A virtual 5K is available for those unable to attend in person, and the race proceeds regardless of weather.
Finishers earn medals, and virtual participants receive a shirt and medal. The in-person event features music, food, and children's activities, with proceeds benefiting homeless dogs and cats via The Darlington County Humane Society Shelter and The Florence Area Humane Society. Those not participating in the run or walk can assist by volunteering or donating.
Run Stephenson County
Run Stephenson County begins and ends at the Jane Addams Trailhead in Orangeville, Illinois, offering a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and cycling fun ride. This is an annual YMCA fundraiser, with entry fees supporting reduced-cost access to YMCA programs and memberships for children, families, seniors, and neighbors.
The half marathon features a flat start and finish, with rolling hills in the middle miles. The 5K and 10K courses are designed for runners aiming for fast times. The paved, certified route follows the Jane Addams Trail and local farmland roads, including chip timing, aid stations, and porta-potties. Participants receive a tech shirt, half marathon finishers are awarded medals, top finishers receive trophies, and the finish area provides food, vendors, and a close-knit community atmosphere.
National Sweetest Day
National Sweetest Day marks the conclusion of the Wisconsin Trail Assail Series in Nashotah, Wisconsin, coinciding with the National Sweetest Day holiday. This event offers trail running and walking options: 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances, along with a 1K for children under 10. The event typically hosts 100 to 500 participants, taking place within Nashotah Park.
The course features wide, maintained trails covered in wood chips. Over 90% of the race unfolds within the park's wooded areas, passing Forest Lake and Grass Lake. The terrain is characterized as fast and flat, suitable for trail runners seeking less technical challenges on longer distances. Families are included, with children in the 1K receiving their own bibs, and this kids' race is complimentary for registered parents.
Richardson Farm Fall 5K & 10K with Family 1 Mile Adventure Run
The Richardson Farm Fall 5K & 10K is an obstacle-course race at Richardson Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois, featuring a corn maze. Participants can select a timed or untimed 5K, a 10K, a 5K route through the farm, a 1 Mile Adventure Run for families, and children’s events including a 100-meter maze dash.
The 5K route runs inside Richardson Farm’s corn maze, described as the World’s Largest Corn Maze. The path is marked but includes numerous turns, offering a puzzle-like experience rather than a typical road race. Families have a shorter adventure run, and the variety of timed, untimed, children’s, and walk-friendly options accommodates a range of participants.
Driftless Distance Night
Driftless Distance Night is a summer evening track meet held under the lights at Central High School in La Crosse, Wisconsin. While the 5k is the primary event, the schedule also features a Community Walk/Jog 5k and youth races, accommodating both those seeking a relaxed group run and runners aiming for fast track times.
All events take place on the track at 1801 Losey Blvd S, with participants eligible to enter one or multiple races. The 5k is divided into Open, Seeded, and Elite heats, with pacers set for 20:00, 17:00, and 15:00 respectively. The youth meet, organized in partnership with River City Run Club, includes 200m, 1600m, and 3200m races. Spectators are welcome, and registration includes a free shirt. All proceeds benefit the Driftless Distance Project's initiatives in running.
Haunted Hustle Run
The Haunted Hustle is a Halloween-themed race day held at KEVA Sports Center in Middleton, Wisconsin, with the start and finish lines at the same location. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 5K dog jog, 5K walk, and a kid's run, suitable for runners, walkers, families, and participants with a dog. The race names reflect the theme, such as the Monster Dash, Haunted Half Marathon, Terror 10K, Run For Your Life 5K, Great Pup-Kin Run, and Zombie Walk 5K.
The Middleton races begin in a sequence on a Saturday morning, starting with the kids' Monster Dash, followed by the longer and shorter distance races departing a few minutes apart. Costumes are encouraged, but standard running attire is also acceptable. The finish area features live music and refreshments, contributing to a Halloween festival atmosphere rather than a simple road race. A separate Haunted Hustle 5K run/walk takes place in Jefferson City, Missouri, with proceeds benefiting the Sneaker Project.
Chilly Willy Winter Run Series - SEVEN Events!
The Chilly Willy Winter Run Series features seven events held in Wisconsin between November and March. The series focuses on cold-weather running, offering 5K and 10K races at most locations, alongside a walking series and two half marathons throughout the season.
Presented by Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC, the series allows half marathon participants to remain in contention on days without their chosen distance; they are placed in the 10K category for those events. Rucking, which involves hiking with a weighted backpack and originates from military training, is now available at all events as a lower-impact fitness choice.
Bucks & Does 13.1 Pointer
The Bucks & Does 13.1 Pointer is a Wisconsin race that uses deer-season wordplay. Runners can select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, named the 5-Pointer, 10-Pointer, and 13.1-Pointer, respectively. The event takes place in November, serving as preparation for Wisconsin's deer season. It also offers a 5 Pointer Walk, 5K Ruck, 10K Ruck, a free Bambi Run for children, and an early start option for the half marathon.
The course specifics are not detailed, but the race strongly embraces its theme. Participants receive a wooden finisher medal known as a woodle. Deer puns are incorporated throughout the event, and runners are informed that they may see actual deer along the course or within the surrounding woods. The name originated from a community naming competition, where "Bucks & Does Fifty Pointer" was the winning entry before the event's current lineup was established around the pointer-distance format.
Abominable Trail Race
The Abominable Trail Race takes place at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures, featuring woods, hills, and various distance options suitable for casual walkers and runners seeking a challenging outing. The available race distances are 5K, 10K, 15K, and 30K, with the shorter distances welcoming participants of all skill levels.
The 30K Challenge, the longest event, can be completed individually or as a relay by teams of two, three, or four. This is the fourth year for the race, and it offers a clearly marked course, chip timing, complimentary action photos, an Abominable shirt, a finisher medal, and a beverage at the end.
Birdie Derby 5k/10k Run/Walk
Birdie Derby is a Thanksgiving morning 10K run and 5K run/walk in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, starting at 5500 E. Cheryl Parkway. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and includes individual and team entries, untimed 5K walking options, virtual 5K and 10K choices, and a free 100-yard Kids Dash for ages 2 to 6 with a paid adult registration.
The race complements Madison’s Thanksgiving routine: participants get active before the holiday meal, then receive a race bib, long-sleeved shirt or tech hoodie, knit hat, free photos, and Sportstats timing on a precisely measured course. Finish-line items include a Kwik Trip Glazer, chocolate milk, banana, water, and free Oasis Cafe coffee or hot chocolate before and after the race. All proceeds benefit a Wisconsin nonprofit and support Active Youth Wisconsin, which helps children become active by providing equipment and clothing.
Great Gobble Wobble
The Gobble Wobble is a Thanksgiving morning 5K and walk hosted by the Greater Philadelphia Y. It is designed for families, offering 5K and Wobble Walk choices, with separate pricing for adults and children, and complimentary entry for kids under 6. The race also benefits the Y's financial assistance program, making the holiday run a fundraiser for local access to YMCA programs.
Instead of a single start line, the Gobble Wobble utilizes four race locations throughout the greater Philadelphia area. The listed sites include the Haverford Y in Havertown and the Navy Yard Marine Parade Grounds on South Broad Street in Philadelphia. Haverford's 5K begins at 8:30 AM. A virtual option is also available for those traveling, out of town, or not wishing to wake early on Thanksgiving morning.
Freeze For Food
Freeze for Food, a long-standing Madison, Wisconsin race, is held at the Vilas Park Shelter on Vilas Park Drive. The event features a 5K run/walk at noon and a 10K run at 1 PM, allowing participants to walk, run one distance, or register for both. Organized by RPCVs of Wisconsin-Madison, it is an annual community event with modest entry fees.
The race benefits food security and collaborates with Open Doors for Refugees, connecting the day to local aid efforts beyond just finish times. Runners and walkers gather at Vilas Park, with race-day bib pickup available at the shelter and early pickup at Movin' Shoes on South Park Street. The series has been active for over 45 years, establishing it as a Madison winter tradition centered on participation, fundraising, and a straightforward park-based race format.

About 10K races in Janesville-Beloit
Janesville-Beloit Training Notes
Janesville-Beloit hosts 24 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Janesville-Beloit through parks first, then link streets when they want cleaner mileage. Palmer Park, Riverside Park, Rockport Park, and the Robert O Cook Memorial Arboretum give the week its shape, and Turtle Creek brings a series of winding trails mostly shaded under the cover of the tree line. The Turtle Creek trails run 03 km and gain +119 m, so locals use them when Z2 needs a little bite. Locals lean on the race calendar more than a named run club here, with Race for Freedom 5K Run/Walk, Race for a Place to Call Home, and Festival Foods Turkey Trot Janesville as anchor dates.
Locals ride the 31 miles of paved trail for base miles, then swing south when gravel sounds better. The trail runs 5 miles from Tripp Road to Afton. The route options range from 8 miles to 103 miles. Rockport Park handles the singletrack mood, and Palmer Park has The Pump. Wuthering Hills is the named climb marker, and Friends of Rock County Parks Bicycle Tour is the anchor bike event.
Mid-April through mid-October feels like the clean training window because restrooms are available from April 15 through October 15. Summer keeps the parks busy and simple, but city parks and trails do not allow pets from May 15 through September 15. Locals still get intervals, Z2, and long rides done on the paved system, the Peace Trail, and Rockport Park. Winter changes the surface more than the routine, since the trails stay available for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and Janesville Velo Club keeps people honest with the 2026 Winter Challenge.
