About the race
The Father's Day Run takes place in Menomonee Falls at Menomonee Park. This family-oriented event features a variety of distances and participation styles, including traditional running, walking, and rucking. The courses utilize the internal paths of the park and the paved Bugline Trail.
Participants can choose from several event categories:
- Half Marathon (includes an early start option)
- 10K and 10K Ruck
- 5K Run, 5K Walk, and 5K Ruck
- Kiddos 1K (for ages 12 and under)
The 5K course consists of one scenic loop within Menomonee Park, while the 10K participants complete two laps of this loop. The Half Marathon course involves a larger loop that combines park paths with an out-and-back section on the paved Bugline Trail; athletes complete this sequence twice. Because these are trail-based courses, distances may not be exact.
The event is professionally timed, and several awards are available. Custom woodle medals are provided to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three finishers in five-year age increments. All participants receive a finisher magnet woodle. A unique Average Joe and Jane award is also presented to those who finish exactly in the middle of the field. After the race, a fresh fruit bar with recovery drinks like pickle juice and lemon water is available for all participants.
Parking is located on-site at Menomonee Park, but a county park daily or annual pass is required and must be purchased online prior to arrival. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
