Winter 5K/10K Options

Think that just because it's a bit chilly outside that your outdoor running/walking options are gone?

Wrongo, buckaroos! Even in sub-arctic Wisconsin, you have plenty to choose from. All. Winter. Long!

You tell me which of these races you want to do and I'll meet you there, with bells on. (And layers of performance fleece!)

This is by no means a complete list, but something to get your planning started:
