Description
Start @ Approximately 6pm Both Days.
The second year of this great event. The race is short and fast. And there is a party; What's not to love? Come on out to Shorewood and Downer Avenue during the Kwik Trip Tour Of Americas Dairyland.
One mile. You can do it! Maybe it's been since gym class in High School, or maybe you just want to rip a fast one. Well this is the event for you.
We'll have thousands of people out lining the course and making this event one of the most special running races of the year. There will be free beer, cookies, and as always one of the best swag packages of any race.
The events will start roughly at 6pm and unfortunately there is a strict 15 minute cut off due to the condensed schedule of the bike races. The event is open to anyone that can run under that time.
