About the Event

Begin your winter running season with meaning at the Vets Day 5K & 10K presented by Cargill & hosted by Silver Circle on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the War Memorial. This special event honors our veterans and active-duty service members and is part of the Wisconsin Chilly Willy Winter Run Series. Join hundreds of runners as you make your way through the beautiful Veterans Park in the only race that starts and finishes on Mason Street, right in front of the War Memorial. After the race, stick around for the awards ceremony and treat yourself to our hot chocolate bar.

Operation Finally Home

The Vets Day 5K & 10K is also proud to partner with Silver Circle Foundation to help raise money for Operation Final Home. Operation Finally Home was established in 2005 and builds custom, mortgage-free homes to America’s veterans and their families. All money donated as part of registration for this race will be donated to Operation Finally Home to help support their mission.
