Chick-uamegon

The Chick-uamegon 5K & 10K returns to Ashland, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 12th. This women-only event offers a 1-mile run for those who prefer shorter distances and the choice between a 5K or 10K for longer-distance runners. The race will start at 10am in downtown Ashland.
Race morning in Ashland is crisp with clear skies, as typical September weather presents firm yet slightly soft conditions on the course. Participants can expect a comfortable UV index of moderate levels making it ideal for running gear with some sun protection needed. The event takes place near the Riverfront Park and along Main Street, where runners will enjoy the vibrant community atmosphere.
This year marks its fourth edition, having successfully hosted 10K participants in previous years while this is the first time offering a one-mile race. Last year saw over 250 women competing for fun and charity; all proceeds benefit local scholarships supporting young girls' education. The event aims to celebrate camaraderie among women by encouraging participation from friends, family members, or even solo runners.
The course venue includes firm but slightly soft terrain on the paved streets of downtown Ashland. Runners will start at the intersection of Main and Oak Streets, running north towards the river before looping back through the historic district. The finish line is also located in Main Street park where volunteers will be stationed to help distribute prizes. Elevation changes are minimal with no aid stations planned for this race.
Weather conditions on September 12th will feel like a mild autumn day; temperatures range from low 60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit, with the UV index at moderate levels. Runners can expect comfortable weather without any significant precipitation risks.
The Chick-uamegon offers distances of 1 Mile (1.6K), 5K and 10K for participants.
