Race proceeds will help the Foundation support local high schools in Wisconsin and Illinois that have insufficient funding for after-school athletic and extracurricular programs and grow its Johnson Family Scholarship program. Since 2014, the Johnson Family Scholarship program has awarded 10 high school scholarships in Wisconsin and Illinois high schools.
Participants are welcome to run, walk or stroll their way to the finish line. The 5K race will be timed, awards given out to the top male and female runners/age by division & overall male and female finishers.
