Set your sights on the Operation Finally Home 5K, an inspiring event taking place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in picturesque Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. This race offers a unique opportunity to hit the pavement for a powerful cause, supporting Operation Finally Home's mission to provide mortgage-free homes and modifications to wounded, ill, or injured veterans, first responders, and their families who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms. Join a community of dedicated runners and walkers, ranging from 100 to 500 participants, all united in honoring these heroes.

The race kicks off from Mill Pond Park, adjacent to the pavilion and just north of the downtown waterfall, offering a scenic backdrop for your start. Runners will enjoy a fast and flat course that utilizes the paved public path tracing the Menomonee River, providing a pleasant and generally even terrain for a strong finish. Typical race day conditions in late May in Menomonee Falls feature comfortable highs around 70°F and lows around 48°F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. Water will be available at one aid station on the course and another at the finish line, though carrying your own water bottle is encouraged as stations may be self-serve.

Beyond the traditional 5K Run, the event also features a 2-Mile Walk, a challenging 5K Ruck for those looking to carry a load in solidarity, and a free Kiddos 1K, making it a truly inclusive event for the whole family. Your participation in the Operation Finally Home 5K directly contributes to making a tangible difference in the lives of deserving individuals, helping to build the foundation for their future. Lace up and run for a home!
