5Kater
The 5Kater is a community run and walk held in Neenah, Wisconsin, on 09/26/2026 at 1175 Appleblossom Dr., 54956. The event is in its third year and includes multiple distances and family activities.
Distances offered:
- 5K run/walk
- 1K run/walk

The event raises funds for research into rare fatty acid oxidation disorders, including LCHADD and TFP. Funds are collected through the host nonprofit, BLESSINGS OVERFLOW, and are donated directly to a children's hospital research lab working on these conditions. A silent auction is part of the program and its proceeds are designated for research. Recent editions have collectively raised notable sums for related research efforts.
On-site offerings include face painting by Curly Girl Face Painting, drinks for sale from Bar Carte Co., and complimentary food and coffee. Event T-shirts are available for purchase at $10 each and will be available for pickup the morning of the event; the organizer has specified Venmo as a payment option. Registration for the races is free.
Additional community activities are scheduled around the races, including the silent auction and family-friendly features. Donations can be made in person at the event or through the affiliated nonprofit's donation channel. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
