The Series

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series brings together five wildly fun race experiences across southeastern Wisconsin. Every event has its own vibe, its own crowd, and its own gloriously snackable identity.

You can jump into your favorite race or sign up for the entire series and chase every mile, every theme, and every finish-line memory along the way.

This is the kind of race series where:

• 🏁 The miles are real
• 🎺 The fun is louder
• 🌟 The themes are better
• 🌮 The motivation is suspiciously food-shaped

Why Join the Yum Run Series?

Because racing should be fun.

Because Wisconsin knows how to do food.

Because not every event needs to take itself so seriously.

The Wisconsin Yum Run Series is designed for people who want more than a bib and a finish line. It is for people who want community, laughter, memorable themes, great swag, and race days that actually feel different from one another.

Whether you are chasing a PR, walking with friends, bringing the kids, or simply making elite life choices based on cookies and cheese, this series has a spot for you.

The Lineup

🌶️ Chili Bowls & Running Soles

Kick off the series with a spicy start and a whole lot of personality. This event brings the heat with a fun atmosphere, a great crowd, and the perfect way to open your Yum Run season.

🥒 Wisconsin Pickle Run

A beautifully weird celebration of running and briny greatness. It is bold, fun, and unmistakably Wisconsin. Honestly, if you are not at least a little curious about a pickle-themed race, we may need to talk.

🍪 Mama K’s Cookie Run

Sweet, fun, and family-friendly, this event delivers exactly what the name promises: a great race and a cookie-powered finish. Fast feet meet baked rewards. Science has never been clearer.

🌯 Burrito Biathlon

Big flavor. Big fun. Big “who came up with this and why do I love it so much?” energy. This event is a crowd favorite for good reason and proves that burritos and endurance belong in the same sentence.

🧀 Wisconsin Cheese Run

A proper Wisconsin finale. Cheese, community, and one last chance to close out the season in delicious style. It is the victory lap your race season deserves.
