Jack’s Jog 5k 2026

Jack’s Jog 5k is a 5k held in early October in La Crosse, Wisconsin, starting at 789 Myrick Park Dr. The race begins at 5:00 PM Central, making it an evening run instead of a morning road race. Registration costs $30, with a reduced $15 fee for participants 18 and under. The public race details do not specify the route beyond the 5k distance. The core of the event is Jack, the baby boy whose memory inspired the race. His parents, Brad and Jamie, discovered during a routine 20-week ultrasound that he had a life-threatening condition, later identified as triploidy. The reduced youth entry fee gives the event a family-friendly character, aligning with a memorial run centered on a child’s story.
