Wonderful Water Run
The Wonderful Water Run is a multi-distance road and trail event in Stevens Point, Wisconsin held September 25-26, 2026. The event offers several race distances and a separate Kids Run. Races begin at Pfiffner Pioneer Park on the Wisconsin River and use a course that runs through Stevens Point city trails and roads, around the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and past Lake Joanis.
Distances include:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- Kids Run
The event is organized entirely by volunteers and operates as a 501-C3 non-profit. Volunteers support the Expo and Kids Run on Friday, September 25, and race operations on Saturday, September 26. Typical volunteer roles include setup, teardown, course support, and activities for children; volunteers receive a WWR t-shirt.
Organizers partner with a local running lab to offer an opt-in group training program guided by certified run coaches who are trained in physical therapy. The event also directs a portion of proceeds to the North Central Conservancy Trust to support protection of Central Wisconsin groundwater and land conservation.
Additional event services and information listed by organizers include packet pickup, a race expo, and published race results. The event lists multiple sponsorship opportunities and relies on sponsor support to cover event costs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
