12K: The only race of its kind! Take on the challenge as you amble your way through the oak savannah, past the marshes and wetlands, and over the prairie on this 12K mixed course. The race starts at the Fort Atkinson High School, goes through Dorothy Carnes County Park and returns to the high school. The 12K route was modified in 2025 due to construction in the area. The route now leaves the High School from the front entrance, wraps around the back of the school, up the hill to Hoard Road and then east to Banker Rd. This race begins at 9:00am.
5K: The route will explore the neighborhood streets of Fort Atkinson, starting and ending at the high school. This race begins at 9:15am. 5K Course
1 Mile: A 1-mile untimed walk/run will also be offered for those who do not want to do the full 5k. This race begins at 8:30am.
All racecourses will close at 11:00am.
