Established in 2005, the organization has completed or planned 380 home projects in 32 states and has gifted seven families in Wisconsin.
The course is described as fast and flat. There is one aid station on course and one at the finish line; both will have water and may be self serve. Participants are encouraged to carry a water bottle. Chip timing is used with a chip start; bibs should be worn on the front of the body.
Parking will not be available in the Mill Street Parking Lot; attendees should use side streets or other lots. Public parking is available north of the Mill Pond in Downtown and south of Lime Kiln Park. Main Street will be closed before and during the event from Appleton Avenue to Water Street.
All participants receive a custom finisher woodle. Top three male and female finishers in five year age groups receive medals, and overall male and female winners receive a Ridgeway Woodworks American Flag.
