From the Organizer
Let's kickoff Saturday morning of the Scandinavia Corn Roast Weekend with a Fun 5K for the 10th year! Fun Run-Walk, meaning all the fun without the digital timing or medal work.
Beautiful course set all throughout the rolling hills of Jorgens Park Preserve! The route is on grass or dirt terrain. The route is leashed-pet friendly and strollers are allowed but use at your own comfort level. There are sections with roots and rocks.
The run/walk begins at 8:30am and will be concluded before the parade! Proceeds from this Scandinavia Booster Club event will go back into the community.
Save money, register online!! Guaranteed full swag bag (including Sport-Tek T-SHIRT (if desired), Saturday wristband entry, beer/soda tix, and more) if you register by 07/18/2026. Registration open until 07/31/2026 where you will still receive beer/soda tix and wristband entry into the grounds on Saturday. In-person registration day-of available for $35 all ages (6+) with no guarantee of T-shirt.
