June 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM

Join us for 2 laps of the fastest barnyard race around.  Navigate the cross-country run/walk 5K course through the Outagamie County Fair and Seymour Lake Park or choose the shorter 4K with barnyard obstacles.  No roads, intersections, or sidewalks!  Show us your speed or enjoy a fun stroll.

Walk/Run and Kid’s Fun Run start and end at the “Midway Stage”.

10:20 AM – 5K and 4K with Obstacles (same time – slightly different courses)

Kid’s Fun Run – 300 yard mad dash with 3 detours including “cow chip collection”, mini “hay bale hop”, and “weavin’ through the woods”.

Stampede – Choose 5K Run/Walk or 4K Run/Walk with Obstacles. Individual and Team scores.  Form your team of 5 or more and compete for bragging rights.  Individuals are welcome – no team necessary.  Overall men’s and women’s winners plus top two men’s and women’s winners in each age category. “Fair Bucks” for the fastest.
