Upcoming Events - August 2024

Spanky's Run 5k & 10K

The 32nd Annual Spanky's Run will take place, as always, on the Saturday of Cornfest. The race offers something for competitive and recreational runners alike.

Spanky's Run is escorted out of town by the fire department and finishes in front of Trinity Lutheran Church, where something special awaits finishers and their fans.

You won't find plain old bananas and oranges at our finish line, instead you will enjoy an array of homemade breads (banana, zucchini, etc.) and beer...it is Wisconsin after al

Jyllibean's Dash

This year will mark the 20th annual Jyllibean's Dash in memory of Jyllian Pieper. She was here for only a short time, but loved being on the go and never missed a cross country race.

The dash is a 1/2 mile fun run for kids up to 10 years old. It starts at the Purple Park and ends at the Main Street Rec Center.

Explore The Course

The course is an out and back loop that starts on Main Street and heads south out of town to the turnaround points for each race. There are water stations at both the 5K & 10K turnarounds. 

On the way back into town, the course turns left on Draper Street then right 2 blocks later on West Street. The finish line is front of the Trinity Lutheran Church.
