Awesome Autumn run in beautiful Potawatomi State Park, Door County, WI   Celebrating 36 years of Run Wild.

Take the challenge and run up tower hill in the featured quarter marathon race. Both the 5K and quarter marathon are run on tree-lined park roads closed to traffic in scenic Potawatomi State Park. Park entrance fee is waived on the day of the race until 11:00 a.m.  If you are  unable to make it to the live event you can sign up for the virtual option and still receive the long sleeve Run Wild T-shirt. Virtual option times are not considered for awards. T-shirts can be picked up at packet pick-up or at the Park office during office hours or can be mailed after the race.  All proceeds raised go to support the Friends of Potawatomi State Park projects in the park.

Awards to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each 10-year age division. Awards will not be mailed, must be picked up on the day of the race. There will be a gun start and chip timed finish.  Packet pick-up is at Bay Shore Outfitters, 59 N.
