Lace up your shoes for the inaugural Sunny Slope 5K Fun Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in the charming village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. This refreshing 5K offers a unique "no-frills" experience, prioritizing community spirit and charitable giving over traditional race amenities. Held within the scenic Oak Road Nature Preserve, participants can anticipate a pleasant route amidst Door County's natural beauty. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 77F and lows around 56F, with a low 12% chance of precipitation, creating an inviting atmosphere for both runners and walkers.
The Sunny Slope 5K is more than just a run; it's a powerful stride for a cause. Every single net dollar raised directly benefits the Lakeshore CAP Door County Food Pantry in Sturgeon Bay, providing vital food assistance to local families in need. This makes the event an ideal choice for those seeking to make a tangible difference while enjoying an active morning outdoors. While you won't find bibs, race timers, t-shirts, or medals, you'll be part of a heartfelt effort to support the community, surrounded by the tranquil environment of the nature preserve.
Starting and finishing at the Oak Road Nature Preserve, located at 6391 Oak Road, the event encourages a "leave no trace" philosophy, asking participants to carry out anything they bring in and respect the pristine surroundings. This focus on simplicity and philanthropy creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, perfect for individuals, families, and groups looking to enjoy a healthy activity with a meaningful purpose in beautiful Egg Harbor.
