Lake Monona 20K and 5K

The Lake Monona 20K and 5K takes place in Monona, Wisconsin, starting at Winnequah Park. This event offers participants different distance options along a lakeside course. The race is scheduled for early May, which typically provides spring temperatures for outdoor activity.

Participants can choose from several event categories focused on running and walking:

  • 20K Run
  • 5K Run/Walk
  • Lake Monona Pet 5K

The 20K distance serves as a training milestone for those preparing for spring marathons or longer distance goals. It provides a specific distance option for runners seeking an event shorter than a half marathon but longer than a standard 10 km race.

In addition to the standard categories, the event includes a specific 5K option for those who wish to participate with their pets. All activities are centered around the park location at 1041 Nichols Road. The event is structured to provide various amenities for participants while maintaining the atmosphere of a smaller community race. Registration for these events typically opens several months in advance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
