Dragin' Tail Run/Walk

Lace up your running or walking shoes for the annual Dragin' Tail Run/Walk, a cherished community tradition set against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. Taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, at 8:00 AM CDT, this 5-mile event is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser for the Lake Nebagamon Volunteer Fire Department (LNVFD). Participants can expect a fast and flat road course that winds through downtown Lake Nebagamon, offering scenic views as you celebrate Independence Day with an invigorating challenge.

Starting and finishing at the Lake Nebagamon Village Auditorium, the Dragin' Tail Run/Walk welcomes all fitness levels, whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll with friends and family. This long-standing event is crucial for the LNVFD, with all proceeds directly supporting the purchase of essential equipment, from personal protective gear to medical supplies and firefighting tools. Typical race day conditions in early July include comfortable temperatures with highs around 80F and lows around 56F, and a 14% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. Be sure to register by June 15, 2026, to guarantee yourself an event T-shirt, which has historically featured a unique dragon design, becoming an unofficial souvenir of the Lake Nebagamon summer.
