Semper Running Half Marathon, Half Marathon Relay & 2.2 Mile

Semper Running was created in 2019 to bring back the Half Marathon to the Lake Geneva area.  

The mission for The Semper Running Foundation is to help create awareness around the benefits long distance running has to offer, specifically, at the high school level and acknowledging those who participate. All proceeds from any “Semper Running” event will help fund Scholarship opportunities for Walworth County High School Seniors who run on their schools official cross country team or compete in long distance track (800 meters or more). Qualifying students will have the chance to apply to receive a scholarship from the Foundation that will be applied to their accepting school.
