Lace up your shoes for the George's Goats for Grammas Memorial Run/Walk on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in the charming Wisconsin town of Cable. This beloved event offers distances for every runner and walker, with a 5-mile run, a 5K run/walk, and a 2K walk available. The 5-mile and 5K courses provide a diverse challenge, featuring a combination of scenic roads, gentle trails, and old rail grades with some rolling hills, while the 2K is an all-road experience. Typical race day conditions in late April offer crisp running weather, with highs around 53°F and lows around 30°F, accompanied by an 18% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating outdoor activity.

More than just a race, George's Goats for Grammas carries a profound legacy of giving back. Named in honor of a local man, George, who envisioned providing goats to grandmothers in Zambia caring for orphaned grandchildren, the event initially raised funds for 2,000 goats. Today, this impactful race continues its charitable mission, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting an orphanage in Kissi, Kenya, specifically aiding in the construction of a trade school to empower its youth. Runners will find one aid station available on both the 5K and 5-mile courses to keep them hydrated and energized. The race starts and finishes conveniently behind the old school or fire station on 1st Street in downtown Cable, where race day registration and bib pickup also occur.

Adding to the community spirit, the event also features a unique 5-person 5K Team Competition, where the fastest three times from each team contribute to the overall score. This combination of varied terrain, a supportive atmosphere, and a powerful charitable purpose makes George's Goats for Grammas a truly special event that leaves a lasting impact far beyond the finish line.
