“All Roads Lead to Wanderoos 5k Run/Walk” - Winner of "Amery's Best Charity Run" in 2025
Sponsored by the Wanderoos Area Community Club, Peer’s Bar, and UW Wanderoos.
Funds raised will help support emergency needs of people in the Wanderoos area. The 5k starts at 8:00am and will follow up with an award ceremony at about 9:00am. This 5k is the kick off event for a full day of celebration complete with a live parade, a bean bag tournament, kids games and much more! After the parade, enjoy a chicken dinner and other concessions, a street dance and one of the best fireworks displays around.
Special thanks to our additional sponsors, our 5k is being timed by Tortoise and Hare Timing out of Minoqua, WI. If we have over 100 runners the run will be chip timed.
