Lace up your shoes and grab your cold weather gear because Old Man Winter is knocking at your door looking for a running partner. Join Silver Circle for the 2022-23 Wisconsin's Chilly Willy Winter Run Series. All seven races are back this year and you'll have plenty of opportunity to race in everyone's favorite time of the year - winter! Race the series as an individual or grab some friends and race as a team. All races have a 5K and 10K option, and two races have the option for a half marathon distance (series runners who select the half marathon distance will automatically be dropped to the 10K distance for races without a half marathon distance). Awards will be given to the overall age group and team series winners.
Registering for the series
Select the distance you want to run. If you select half marathon, we will automatically put you in the 10K distance at races where there isn't a half. The same is true for the 10K. This will register you for the entire 2022-23 winter run series. Please make sure you only select one Gobble Wobble race unless you have mastered how to be in two places at once.
Register for Single Races
Individual Race Registration will open later in the year - check back soon form more information.
Kiddo's 1K Registration
As always, our kiddos races are free. New this year, you can register your kiddo for the series and they will receive a youth t-shirt for each race! If you would like to opt out of a shirt, please register for the individual race.
Individual race registration will open later in 2022. You can take a look at the race websites to find more information about individual races, but please note that some details may change.

Series Rules
As part of our effort to increase awareness of run local/buy local, we have created the Chilly Willy Running Team Challenge. The goal is to increase awareness of local running managers (hey, that’s us), local running stores (hey, that’s where you shop) and local running teams (hey, that’s all of us) in a fun and competitive format.
Grab three of your friends and create a team. Hey, it's free and you can create the team during registration.
It's back for the 2022-23 Chilly Willy Series Races -- Our famous hot chocolate bar!!!
Meet your friends after the race for a quick warm up at our hot chocolate bar. Complete with a huge selection of the tastiest treats, you'll find all you need to make a great cup of hot Chocolate after a cold run. You'll find our hot chocolate bar at all of our 2022-23 Chilly Willy Series runs, except for the Shake Your Shamrocks race (possibly the First Call as well depending on the weather). We'll also typically announce awards after the race over a nice cup of hot chocolate, so its definitely the place to be after the race!
The Average Joe & Jane Awards are back for the Chilly Willy Series 5K Runs are are presented to the male and female runner who finished in the exact middle of all runners. Winners will receive a t-shirt and custom medal!
Occasionally the event distance will not be exact because roads end, highways get in the way, cattle stampede, and it snows in Wisconsin. We do our best to ensure all event distances are exact, but occasionally mother nature happens.
Please see the individual race website for packet pickup instructions.
