Wonderful Water Run Half Marathon & 5k

Beyond the race, the Wonderful Water Run emphasizes community involvement and volunteerism, welcoming groups and individuals to support the event in various capacities. Volunteers, the backbone of the race, are rewarded with a WWR t-shirt, symbolizing the collective effort that makes the event possible. Moreover, the race is a testament to the power of sponsorship and volunteer-driven organization, operating under a 501-C3 non-profit status to ensure all proceeds contribute meaningfully to the event and its cause. The run also serves a larger purpose, rallying the community around the conservation of Central Wisconsin’s groundwater. In partnership with the North Central Conservancy Trust, the event aids in protecting the region’s natural heritage, underscoring the run’s role in fostering environmental stewardship alongside physical fitness. For those looking to prepare for the race or aiming for a personal best, a 12-week training program is available, starting in July. This program offers both in-person meetups and virtual engagements, catering to the diverse needs of the running community and encouraging connections among participants with a shared passion for running. The Wonderful Water Run is not just a race; it’s a celebration of community, environmental conservation, and the joy of running, making it a standout event for runners, volunteers, and sponsors alike.
