Lace up your running shoes for the Thorp Fun Run on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the charming town of Thorp, WI. This community-focused event offers both a 5K and a 10K distance, catering to runners of all abilities, from first-timers to seasoned competitors. Beyond the personal challenge, participants will be running for a great cause, as all proceeds benefit the Thorp Scholarship Fund, which has awarded $7,600 in scholarships over the past three years.
The Thorp Fun Run promises a unique and scenic tour as the route begins on Hill Street in front of Dunamis Therapy and Fitness and winds throughout the city. Runners will enjoy passing by the "Amazing Grazing Cows of Thorp"—uniquely designed, life-size cow sculptures that showcase the area's rich history and daily life, adding a delightful local flavor to your race experience. Held during the festive Thorp Dairy Days celebration, the event boasts a lively atmosphere, complete with concession stands, rides, and carnival games at Northside Park, perfect for family and friends. Typical race day conditions in early June offer pleasant weather for running, with highs around 73°F and lows around 52°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation.
Race day registration and packet pick-up commence at Thorp High School at 7:00 AM, with the 5K and 10K races kicking off at 9:00 AM, followed by an awards ceremony at 10:30 AM. All participants can look forward to a professionally chip-timed finish and refreshing amenities provided after the race. Trophies are awarded to the top male and female finishers in both the 5K and 10K, with medals presented to the top male and female finishers across various age divisions.
