About this race

About This Event
Join us for the best party race of the season! This 5K event, held at the luxurious four-diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, is the perfect weekend getaway for you and your running pals!  The Party this year will be held in the Forum which is located at the west end of the resort.  The party this year will include the world famous Schnapps Stop (at the end of the run), food, lots of beer and soda, DJ, dancing, dance contests and more.  We absolutely encourage you to dress up and be ready to party but a costume is not required (let’s keep it classy... or, you know, maybe not!).  The party will close down at about 9:00pm. Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild ride!

The registration fee will be $55 until 12/1.  After that it will be $60 until Jan 1st when it will increase to $65.  Is there a person who can't or does not run who wants to join the party?  You can buy a guest ticket for $35.  Just click on the tab "Guest Tickets"

Course
Stay tuned for details on the new 5K course.

Race History
It all started on a balmy winter day in 1980 at the Playboy Club in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Over 1,000 runners showed up for our first-time event. The late John Jantz fired the starter’s pistol, and Playboy bunnies, in uniform, gave out the trophies! Since then the run has added many additional run and party features. Join us for the annual running of the best darn race and party in the Midwest!

Bib pickup
Bib numbers may be picked up on race day starting at 12:30 PM at the Grand Ball Room.

Awards
Awarded to the first place finishers for each age. Medals are awarded to the fastest male and female of EACH age (e.g., 16,17,18,19,20,21,… and up)! Awards for the overall fastest male and female winners. And then there is the Grand, Overall, Overall, World Champion award!

Race Swag!
A special award will be given to all preregistered runners.
