Burrito Biathlon

🤓

A biathlon is generally defined as an athletic contest consisting of two different events. 

A burrito is… we don’t really have to define a burrito for you, do we? Hint --> 🌯

Anyway, if you’ve ever had a post-run burrito, you know how well running and eating burritos go together 😋

We figure, why wait until you finish running? Let’s throw the burrito eating into the middle of the run so we all become instant biathletes! You’ll run to The Burrito Zone at Von Loppys where you’ll need to finish your burrito before sprinting to the Finish Line.

You know what some people might call this idea… Neato Burrito! 😆

TL;DR:

Run a little, eat a (little) burrito, run a little more. Bing, bang, boom: Burrito Biathlon!

Now that is the questions to ask, but we always encourage them. There will be an award for best costume!

Everyone who is registered by noon Friday, August 23 will be guaranteed a custom cotton unisex t-shirt. After that, t-shirts will be available while online supplies last. Any extra shirts will be distributed after the race on a first come, first served basis. 

Kids can run the FREE Kiddo's 1K if a parent is running. They will get a bib and finisher medal, but they must be registered in order to run. Shirts are available for purchase during registration.

Sorry the kiddos don't get a taco on course, but they are available for purchase at Von Loppys!

The race is chip timed by Silver Circle Sports Events and the chip is on your bib.

We know, hey! Ixonia is an awesome small town only a couple miles of our headquarters in Oconomowoc. It is also home to Von Loppys, which is an great local pub and grill. One of our favorites with great food and very reasonable prices!

It has a very interesting history.

Did you know Ixonia, Wi is the only town named Ixonia in the America?

From the Town's website

Township of Ixonia Organized
It was on February 12, 1841 when a part of Watertown, Towns seven and eight north of Range 16 were set off to organize the town of Union. It remained the town of Union for only five years and then was divided into two individual towns. Town 7 was called Concord without any disagreement, but a dispute resulted in the naming of town 8. To simplify matters it was agreed upon to put the letters of the alphabet on slips of paper and have young Mary Piper draw them until a name could be formed. As the result, "Ixonia" was the name given town 8 on January 21, 1846, and remains the only town bearing this name in the United States.

How to get to Ixonia
Easy peasy. It is only 4 mile west of Oconomowoc on Highway 16 or 5 miles north of I-94 on Highway F.
