National Sweetest Day - Nashotah, WI

National Sweetest Day is a multi-event run and walk held at Nashotah Park. The event takes place on trails with a mostly wood-chipped surface, a short section of well-maintained grass, and more than 60% tree cover. Course distances are approximate because of the trail setting.

Distances offered:

  • Half Marathon
  • Half Marathon - Early Start
  • 10K
  • 5K Run
  • 5K Walk
  • 5K Ruck
  • 10K Ruck
  • Kiddos 1K (ages 12 and under)

The course layout uses inside and outside loops; the half marathon comprises multiple laps. Turns are marked with 12x12 arrows, 3-foot-tall signs, and orange cones. There is one aid station on the course that participants pass twice per lap; it will be stocked with water and sports drinks.

Race shirts are gender-specific and dry-wick; guaranteed for registrations completed by noon on October 2. Female shirts run small. Packet pickup requires a QR code available on a mobile device or as a saved image.

Bag drop areas are provided near the start and at additional parking-adjacent locations. Parking at the park requires a county day pass or annual pass that must be purchased online before the event. Awards include overall top male and female, age group awards, and finisher keepsakes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
