Lace up your running shoes for the Raider Nation Multisport Event, an engaging and community-focused race held on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in scenic Kiel, Wisconsin. Participants can choose between a challenging 5K run or a more leisurely 2-mile run/walk, both offering a fantastic experience for athletes of all levels. Typical race day conditions in late September showcase comfortable weather, with highs around 71°F and lows around 50°F, accompanied by a modest 16% chance of precipitation, providing ideal conditions for a personal best or an enjoyable stroll.

The courses for both the 5K and 2-mile events promise a dynamic and scenic journey through the local community. Starting on Raider Heights South of Kiel High School, runners will head west to Park Avenue, continuing onto Meggers Road. The 5K features a U-turn at Fish and Game Road, while the 2-mile run/walk takes a right turn into the soccer complex from Meggers Road. Both routes then wind through the soccer complex and athletic grounds, culminating in an exhilarating lap around the high school track before crossing the finish line at the grandstand. This memorable finish, combined with stretches of road and trail, offers a varied and engaging race experience for everyone.

More than just a race, the Raider Nation Multisport Event is a celebration of athleticism and community spirit, with all proceeds benefiting the Kiel High School Booster Club to support co-curricular activities. Packet pick-up is conveniently available the day before and on race morning at Kiel Pool, located at 210 Raider Heights, the central hub for this vibrant event. Awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, as well as top finishers across various age divisions, ensuring recognition for effort and achievement. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of fun, fitness, and community support in Kiel.
