About the Mini Donut Half Marathon and 5K Honor Walk/Run

The half marathon follows the Great River State Trail before turning onto roads and finishing at a park on Brice's Prairie. The scenery along the trail is the draw here, and the mixed terrain keeps it interesting. The 5K uses Fish and Wildlife trails south of that same park, looping back to where both races end.

Packet pickup is the evening before at River Trail Cycles on Mason Street in Onalaska. It is required, so plan around it. There is no morning pickup, but someone can grab your bag if you cannot make it yourself. Donuts are at the finish line.

Common Questions About the Mini Donut Half Marathon and 5K Honor Walk/Run

Will I finish last at the Mini Donut Half Marathon and 5K Honor Walk/Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:17:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:11:38, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Mini Donut Half Marathon and 5K Honor Walk/Run a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 284 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Mini Donut Half Marathon and 5K Honor Walk/Run?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:23:48 while the median finisher took 2:17:42. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
