Who wants to win some butter?!?!?
The day starts off at 7:45 with a 1/2 mile kids' race.
At 8:00 we'll get the 10k-ers moving with an out and back style run on the bike trail. THIS IS NEW so please park at 200 Eagle St Reedsburg, WI 53959 (Lakeside Foods).
The 2-mile fun run/walk route is down and out as well. We'll get runners on their way shortly after the path clears from the 10k crew.
The Butter Run is just one of the many fantastic events running in conjunction with Butterfest. Any money we make is put back into making Butterfest even better next year!
Results will be posted online shortly after the race concludes.
This year's prizes will be for top 3 finishers in Male/Female categories for both the 2 mi and 10K (kids run participants all get a ribbon)
