Sleigh Bell Run/Walk 2026

The Sleigh Bell Run/Walk is a community race in Kiel, Wisconsin, offering 5 mile and 2 mile running options and a 2 mile walk. Children have their own Reindeer Games, featuring a 100 yard dash and a quarter mile run, making the event suitable for families alongside adult runners and walkers. The courses include mile markers, with assistance from volunteers or police at busy intersections. Results are available at the event and online. Post-race food and drink are provided, and awards are presented after the kids’ races. Packet pickup and race-day registration take place at the school gym. Dogs are permitted with walkers only, using non-retractable leashes; dogs are not allowed on the 5 mile course or inside the school building.
