Cream Puff 5K
The Cream Puff 5K is a community run and walk held at Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee. The event includes two distances:
- 5K run
- 1.5K walk
Proceeds benefit the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) partner of the Wisconsin State Fair. The foundation was established in 1995 and has contributed toward projects and programs at the fair park. Over the past six years the foundation has funded more than $730,000 toward projects such as improvements to Central Park, seating upgrades, Ag Education programming, and arts and performing arts support.
Registration for the event includes a 2026 Wisconsin State Fair admission ticket, an Original Cream Puff, a soft-feel T-shirt, a commemorative participant ribbon, and a beverage (Michelob Ultra or Dasani water). The standard registration fee is $38. Packet mailing is available for an additional $15.
A Baker's Dozen Special offers a discount when 13 or more adults register under the same team or group name; the group name may be printed on the back of the event shirt. The event also holds a costume contest with individual and group categories; costumes must be tasteful and appropriate for general audiences, and participants must be registered with a bib to enter. Winners receive a trophy, a pack of cream puffs, and a State Fair fun pack. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
