Welcome to the Wisconsin Yum Run Series

Five races. Five food themes. One very Wisconsin way to spend a race season.

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series brings together running, community, and five of our most deliciously ridiculous race experiences. We have chili, pickles, cookies, burritos, and cheese because apparently normal race themes were never really an option.

Each race has its own personality, course, and finish-line experience, but together they make one seriously fun season of running, walking, rucking, and snack-based motivation.

Register for one race, pick a few, or take on the entire series. Whether you are chasing a PR, collecting race swag, bringing the family, or simply making questionable athletic decisions based on food, there is a place for you.

  1. Select the Races in Series option.
  2. Choose the races you want to participate in.
  3. RunSignup will automatically process them as a series registration. There is no additional series registration fee — that is simply how the software groups the races together.

The Series

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series brings together five uniquely Wisconsin races built around running, community, and some very questionable food-based motivation.

Choose your favorite, tackle a few, or sign up for the entire series and collect every mile, every theme, and every finish-line memory along the way.

Around here:

  • The miles are real
  • The atmosphere is anything but serious
  • The themes are proudly ridiculous
  • The motivation is suspiciously food-shaped

Why Join the Yum Run Series?

Because race day should be something you actually look forward to.

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series is for runners, walkers, ruckers, families, and anyone who thinks a finish line is better when there might be cookies, cheese, pickles, chili, or a burrito waiting somewhere nearby.

You can chase a PR, walk with friends, bring the kids, or simply make excellent life decisions based on snacks. We are not here to judge.


The Lineup

Chili Bowls & Running Soles

Start the Yum Run season with a little heat. Chili Bowls & Running Soles combines a great race atmosphere with the kind of post-race motivation that makes cold-weather miles seem like a perfectly reasonable idea.

Wisconsin Pickle Run

A celebration of running, Wisconsin, and briny greatness. The Wisconsin Pickle Run is weird in exactly the right way. If the idea of a pickle-themed race makes you curious instead of concerned, you have found your people.

Mama K’s Cookie Run

Fast feet meet baked rewards. Mama K’s Cookie Run is sweet, family-friendly, and proof that cookies make an entirely acceptable training incentive. Science is probably on our side.

Burrito Biathlon

Part race. Part burrito. Entirely reasonable. The Burrito Biathlon has big flavor, big personality, and plenty of “who came up with this?” energy. There is a reason people keep coming back.

Wisconsin Cheese Run

There may be no more Wisconsin way to finish the series. Run some miles, celebrate with your fellow cheese-loving athletes, and close out the Yum Run season in appropriately delicious fashion.


One Race or the Whole Series

Just want to try one? Pick your favorite and join us.

Want the full experience? Register for the entire Wisconsin Yum Run Series and take on all five races.

The full series is perfect for anyone who loves themed races, wants to make a season out of it, and enjoys having several completely legitimate excuses to travel around southeastern Wisconsin in pursuit of finish lines and food.

Five races. Five themes. One wonderfully ridiculous goal.


Who Is This For?

Pretty much anyone willing to show up and move forward:

  • Runners chasing goals
  • Walkers out for a good time
  • Ruckers looking for an extra challenge
  • Families making a day of it
  • Kids getting their first taste of race day
  • People who prefer their races with a little personality

You do not have to be fast.

You do not have to be fancy.

You just have to show up.


What Makes It Different?

A lot of races start to feel the same.

These do not.

Each stop in the Wisconsin Yum Run Series has its own personality, theme, and race-day experience. The goal is simple: put on a well-organized race and make sure people have a damn good time doing it.

You can expect:

  • A strong community atmosphere
  • Memorable themes
  • Great race-day energy
  • Distinctive Wisconsin locations
  • A finish line worth talking about afterward

And yes, the food helps. Obviously.


Make 2027 Your Tastiest Race Season Yet

Run one. Run a few. Take on all five.

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series is your excuse to run, walk, ruck, laugh, collect some great race memories, and eat your way through a race season that could probably only happen in Wisconsin.

Run hard. Eat well. Repeat often.
