Series registrations are non-deferrable; participants may switch distances for free. To qualify for series awards a participant must complete at least 4 of the 7 races, and at least 4 completed races must be in the same distance for distance-specific awards. The scoring system awards points by age-group placement (1st = 10 points down to 10th = 1 point; everyone receives at least 1 point). Walk division is timed but non-competitive and walkers receive a finisher Woodle. Kiddo's 1K entrants receive a bib and finisher medal. Park entrance fees may apply and Waukesha County passes must be purchased online. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
