About This Event
Join us for the best party race of the season! This 5K event, held at the luxurious four-diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, is the perfect weekend getaway for you and your running pals! The Party this year will be held in the Grand Ball Room which is located just north of the main entrance to the resort. The party this year will include the world famous Schnapps Stop (at the end of the run), food, lots of beer and soda, DJ, dancing, dance contests and more. We absolutely encourage you to dress up and be ready to party but a costume is not required (let’s keep it classy... or, you know, maybe not!). The party will close down at about 9:00pm. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!

Race History
It all started on a balmy winter day in 1980 at the Playboy Club in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Over 1,000 runners showed up for our first-time event. The late John Jantz fired the starter’s pistol, and Playboy bunnies, in uniform, gave out the trophies! Since then the run has added many additional run and party features. Join us for the annual running of the best darn race and party in the Midwest!
