A Kwik Trip Run is a running race on August 1, 2026 in Wausau, WI.
From the Organizer
A Kwik Trip Run is a 13.1‑mile community race that visits all eight Kwik Trip locations within Wausau city limits. It’s part run, part challenge, part community celebration, and 100% in support of Make‑A‑Wish Wisconsin.
Runners travel store‑to‑store on a mapped half‑marathon route, completing optional challenges along the way. Every challenge earns entries toward prizes or automatic tokens like stickers or small merch. The event is designed to be fun, a little ridiculous, and something you’ll talk about long after you cross the finish line.
All participants donate directly to Make‑A‑Wish Wisconsin as their entry fee, making this run a meaningful way to support wish kids across the state.
