Wisconsin Cheese Run 2026

The Wisconsin Cheese Run is a running event in Muskego Park, with options around 1 km, 3.2 km, and 5 km. It is designed for runners, walkers, and kids, making the field broader than a standard road race lineup. A ruck option offers a strength-focused alternative to the regular run or walk. The event begins at Muskego Park. Every finisher receives a free stick of cheese, and children get an additional cheesy finisher surprise. Wisconsin also has a related cheese-branded race history in Hilbert, where the Cheesehead Run used certified 5K and half marathon courses from Main Street through Calumet County countryside toward Forest Junction, with the half marathon returning on the Fox River Trail.
