Watertown Jig Jog 5K
The Watertown Jig Jog 5K is a nonprofit walk/run event in Watertown, Wisconsin held on March 13, 2027. The course passes historic homes, including the Octagon House, and begins and ends by the Watertown Public Library and Bentzin Family Town Square. The event features live music and free raffles and attracts over 500 walkers and runners.
Multiple distances are offered:
- 5K
- 0.4 mile
- 0.5 mile
There are family and kids runs alongside the individual 5K. Registration and entry fees are part of the event structure. All proceeds support teachers and classrooms in both public and private schools through local educational grants. In the previous year the event raised over $17,500, and that fundraising helped enable the Educational Foundation of Watertown to distribute over $50,000 to local schools.
After the event, participants are invited to walk to Lyon's Pub for traditional Irish food and beverages. The event is presented as a seasonal celebration with Irish-themed elements and community fundraising as primary purposes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
