Set amidst the picturesque backdrop of Vines and Rushes Winery, the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon event on 410 County RD E, Ripon, WI, offers an engaging blend of community spirit and scenic beauty. Utilizing the serene Mascoutin Trail, this event was born from a partnership that embodies the essence of community collaboration, involving Noon Kiwanis, Ripon Rotary, Ripon Medical Center, Ripon College, and other local entities. Notably, Ripon College Professor Dr. Hatcher’s class on motivation, offering students the option to train for and complete a half marathon, highlights the event’s dedication to personal growth and academic integration.
