About the Syttende Mai Classic Run/Walk
The course takes you through Stoughton on a scenic route, with several distance options ranging from a short kids' run up to a half marathon. The half marathon has a generous time limit, so walkers are genuinely welcome alongside runners. It is a well-established event with deep roots in the city's Norwegian heritage.
Everything starts and finishes at the high school's Anderson Complex, which has bleachers, concessions, restrooms, and plenty of parking. After the race, an arts and crafts fair runs nearby, and the local Norwegian Dancers have food on offer, making the finish area worth sticking around for.
