St Jerome Jog
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.

What is rucking?
Rucking is a physical activity that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack (called a rucksack). The term comes from the military, where soldiers train and operate carrying heavy loads over long distances. In civilian fitness and recreation, rucking is gaining popularity as a versatile and low-impact workout. We now offer it at all Chilly Willy Events!
More information about rucking.
Although the Ruck Divisions are timed, it’s not competitive, and there are no age group awards. However, ruckers will still receive a finisher woodle!
Walkers Welcome
Walkers and families are welcome to participate! We ask that all walkers stay to the right of the road so runners can pass on the left.
Kiddos 1K
Bring the kiddos out for the Kiddos 1K. All kids will get a bib just like Mom & Dad and they get a finisher medal.
