About the Wo-Zha-Wa 5K & 10K Run/Walk
The course follows the Riverwalk before climbing a hill the locals call Turkey Hill, then winds through town and finishes on La Crosse Street. There is a real push at the end, with the final stretch running fast toward the finish. The route has some character to it, a mix of waterfront path, a climb, and streets.
Packet pickup opens race morning, and same-day registration is also available. Plan to arrive well before your start time to get settled. The race is chip timed.
