Join St. Jerome Parish and School for a family-friendly 5K run, walk, ruck, and free kiddos run in the heart of Oconomowoc.
This community event brings together parish families, school families, friends, neighbors, runners, walkers, ruckers, and supporters for a morning of faith, fellowship, fitness, and fun. Whether you are racing for a personal best, walking with family, rucking with purpose, or cheering on the kiddos, this event is designed for everyone.
St. Jerome has long been a place where generations gather to connect, grow, and serve. This run/walk is a celebration of that mission and an opportunity to bring the community together in a healthy, joyful, and welcoming way.
Proceeds from the event will support the St. Jerome Food Pantry and parish outreach activities that help feed the hungry and homeless in our community. Participants, volunteers, and spectators are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item on race day to help stock the pantry and extend its impact.
Participants can choose the 5K run, 5K walk, 5K ruck, or the kiddos run. All ages and abilities are welcome.
Come run, walk, ruck, volunteer, cheer, donate, and be part of a great morning at St. Jerome.
Because yes, even fellowship can involve a finish line.
