About this race
The Kohler Classic takes place on a June race morning at Kohler School's Ebben Field in Kohler, Wisconsin. Participants can choose from a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile run/walk, or a 100-meter dash for children age 4 and under. The mile and 5K begin at 9:00 a.m., with the children's dash following at 10:00 a.m. The Kohler Athletic Bomber Boosters, a nonprofit supporting Kohler athletic programs and youth fitness, organizes the event.
This event functions more as a school and community fundraiser centered on families rather than a competitive race weekend. The boosters provide financial support for high school, middle school, youth basketball, and youth football teams. Funds raised contribute to team expenses, equipment purchases, trips, banquets, and student-athlete scholarships. Following the races and awards ceremony, the day continues with concessions, a brat fry, a children's bouncy house featuring an obstacle course, and a Color Celebration.
