About the race
Race for GRACE is an outdoor fundraising running and walking event held on May 8, 2027, with the start and finish located at the Richland Center High School track, 1996 US Hwy 14, Richland Center, WI. The event combines fundraising for GRACE with prevention goals that encourage regular physical activity.
Distance options include:
- 1/4 mile kids run
- 1 mile fun run/walk (includes First Responder Challenge)
- 5K fun run/walk
- 3.5 mile trail run
All races begin and end on the high school track. Early registration (before April 23) guarantees a t-shirt; later registrants have limited t-shirt availability and no size guarantee. Packet pickup is available the day before at the Richland Center Community Center and on race morning at the track concession stand. Course maps and numbered bibs will be provided for the 5K and 3.5 mile trail run.
The 1 mile event hosts a First Responder Challenge with separate divisions for firefighters, police, and EMS. Teams must include three or more members from the same department, wear specified gear (firefighters: turnout coat and pants; police: uniforms and duty gear), wear race bibs, be chip timed, and finish together. Teams pay a registration fee and may use pledge sheets to raise additional funds for GRACE.
WIAA athletes who are competing in a spring school sport must obtain prior school authorization before registering. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
