LNVFD Dragin' Tail 5 Mile Run/Walk

Prepare for a Fourth of July celebration with purpose at the LNVFD Dragin' Tail 5 Mile Run/Walk in picturesque Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, runners and walkers will gather for this beloved annual event, a cherished community tradition supporting the Lake Nebagamon Volunteer Fire Department. All proceeds from the 5-mile run/walk directly contribute to acquiring essential equipment, such as personal protective gear and firefighting tools, making every step count towards local safety.

The race kicks off at 8:00 AM from the Lake Nebagamon Village Auditorium, guiding participants on a scenic and notably fast and flat road course. This makes the Dragin' Tail an appealing option for those chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a pleasant morning stride. Typical race day conditions in early July in Lake Nebagamon feature comfortable highs around 80F and lows of 56F, with a relatively low 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the enjoyable course, the LNVFD Dragin' Tail is known for its vibrant community atmosphere and the satisfaction of contributing to a vital cause. Participants are encouraged to register by June 15, 2026, to guarantee their commemorative event t-shirt, often featuring a distinctive dragon design that has become a local favorite. Awards will be presented to overall male, female, and youth male and female finishers, celebrating the achievements of all who support Lake Nebagamon's dedicated volunteer firefighters.
