Lace up your running shoes and get ready to dash through the decades at the Kornfest Fun Run on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in Holmen, Wisconsin! This lively event, featuring a 10K run, a 2-mile run, and a 2-mile non-competitive walk, is a highlight of the annual Holmen Kornfest celebration. Runners are encouraged to embrace the "Dashing Through The Decades" theme by donning their best retro attire, from the roaring '20s to the neon '80s, adding a unique and festive flair to the race atmosphere. The course itself is described as fast and flat, making it suitable for all levels of participants looking for a fun and achievable challenge.

Starting and finishing at 515 Main St. N, Holmen, WI, the Kornfest Fun Run offers a fantastic community experience. Participants can expect a festive atmosphere filled with family-friendly music and activities, with free snacks and water available to keep you energized. Every registered runner also receives an exclusive "Dashing Through The Decades" commemorative t-shirt, and awards are presented to top finishers across various age categories, alongside a fun prize drawing for kids. Typical race day conditions in mid-August include comfortable lows around 63F and highs around 84F, with a low chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the personal achievement, participating in the Kornfest Fun Run supports a worthy cause, as it stands as the largest annual fundraiser for the Holmen Knights of Columbus. These funds directly aid individuals and families in need within the local Holmen and La Crosse areas. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment by enjoying the broader Kornfest festivities, which include everything from delicious food tents and a beer garden to live bands, a carnival, a parade, and even a car show. This race truly combines fitness, community spirit, and a whole lot of fun into one unforgettable day.
