Get ready to celebrate Independence Day with a run at the 49th annual Pow Wow Days 5K/10K and 1 Mile Fun Run in picturesque Tomahawk, WI, on July 4, 2026. Kicking off from Veterans Memorial Park along the scenic Wisconsin River, this beloved community event offers a distance for every runner. The 10K route provides breathtaking views as it winds along the river before a rewarding climb to Kings Hill, just past the historic Kings Dam. For those seeking a flatter challenge, the 5K follows the initial portion of the 10K before a mostly flat loop through the Tomahawk High School grounds. A 1-Mile Fun Run is also available, perfect for all ages, with special awards for participants aged 12 and under.

More than just a race, the Pow Wow Days runs are a cherished tradition, drawing 600-700 participants annually as a central part of Tomahawk's vibrant 4th of July Lion's Day Festivities. Typical race day conditions in early July bring pleasant highs around 78°F and lows around 54°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. All finishers can enjoy refreshing post-race treats provided by Northwoods Vineyard Church. Embrace the festive spirit by participating in the "Most Patriotic" costume contest, offering prizes for the top three outfits, and celebrate your achievement with medals awarded to the top 100 10K finishers and the top three age-group finishers in the 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run.
