Courses de 5K près de Sun Prairie

Le Red Tutu Trot, c'est une course/marche de 5K à Madison, Wisconsin, avec une option virtuelle. Pour la version en présentiel, le départ est donné du Lot 60, au 801 Walnut Street, sur le campus de l'UW-Madison. Ça a lieu en octobre, et le concept est simple : les étudiants ont un tarif réduit, le public peut aussi participer, et l'événement vise surtout les étudiants, les familles et les fans des Badgers. La course est associée à Cardiac on Campus, une association qui a été fondée après le décès de Jon Derynda. L'argent récolté sert à financer des actions de prévention cardiaque autour de l'UW-Madison. Les bénéfices servent à financer des formations gratuites de certification en RCR/DEA, à aider à l'installation de DEA dans les bâtiments du campus, et à soutenir des campagnes de dépistage ECG gratuites. L'association a déjà installé 11 DEA, dépisté plus de 973 personnes avec des ECG, détecté 37 rythmes anormaux, et certifié plus de 2 100 personnes en RCR. L'aspect tutu rouge, c'est ce qui donne le côté "accrocheur" visuel à l'événement, avec des t-shirts officiels de la course vendus pour la collecte de fonds.

Race Day Event's Beer Run & Beer Mile, presented by 3 Sheep's Brewing, takes place at Seminole Tap in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The event offers a varied menu: a standard 5K run/walk, a Beer Mile for participants aged 21 and older, and a 0.05K run/walk covering 164 feet. Both the 5K and 0.05K conclude with a complimentary pint of 3 Sheeps beer. Each registration includes a Beer Run hoodie, a race bib, and a finisher medal. The Beer Mile is the featured event: participants consume 12 ounces of 3 Sheeps beer, run a quarter-mile, and repeat this sequence four times before crossing the finish line. The 0.05K serves as a novelty option, designed for those seeking the shortest path to the beer while still receiving race-day benefits. Music, lawn games, spectators, and participants from the 5K and 0.05K contribute to a relaxed Wisconsin atmosphere, with the Beer Mile providing an incentive for attendees to remain after their own race.

Driftless Distance Night is a summer evening track meet held under the lights at Central High School in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

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 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 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.

The Frosty Rock Challenge takes place in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, starting at Fort Atkinson High School on a Saturday in November.

The 12k and 5k require a pre-registration fee, and event T-shirts are available for purchase. The Rotary Club of Fort Atkinson organizes the race. The 12k course begins at the high school, incorporating both roads and trails as it extends into Dorothy Carnes County Park before looping back to the school grounds. Participants will pass the historic Mason Farms log home and traverse areas of oak savannah, marshes, wetlands, and prairie. Proceeds from the race benefit Fort Rotary projects, such as local park enhancements, school programs, and non-profit initiatives. Additionally, funds contribute to food, health, water, and sanitation efforts in countries including the Philippines, India, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Poland, and Ukraine.

Freeze for Food, une course bien établie à Madison, Wisconsin, a lieu au Vilas Park Shelter sur Vilas Park Drive. Au programme, un 5K course/marche à midi et un 10K course à 13h. Tu peux marcher, courir une seule distance ou t'inscrire aux deux. Organisé par RPCVs of Wisconsin-Madison, c'est un événement communautaire annuel avec des frais d'inscription modestes. La course soutient la sécurité alimentaire et collabore avec Open Doors for Refugees, liant cette journée à des efforts d'aide locale, au-delà des simples chronos. Les coureurs et marcheurs se retrouvent à Vilas Park. Le retrait des dossards est possible le jour de la course au shelter, et un retrait anticipé est prévu chez Movin' Shoes sur South Park Street. Cette série existe depuis plus de 45 ans, ce qui en fait une vraie tradition hivernale à Madison, centrée sur la participation, la collecte de fonds et un format de course simple dans un parc.

Ce trail, il propose des options pour les débutants comme pour les coureurs plus aguerris. Attends-toi à traverser de la prairie, du single track, du sable, des ponts un peu glissants et pas mal de bosses. Et pour les jeunes, il y a la One Mile FUN RUN, une nouveauté en 2026. Tous les bénéfices de la Donald Dash Trail Run sont reversés à Friends of Donald Park. Une récompense artisanale locale ou du cash est prévue pour ceux qui battent les records du parcours.
