Escape to Paradise: Our Hawaiian Luau Celebration Awaits!

Grab your lei, slip on your flip-flops (or racing flats!), and join us for the most tropical, joy-filled morning in Lodi. Whether you’re swaying through the 5K like a gentle trade wind or tackling the epic 11-mile island challenge, this ONE MOTHER of a RUN has aloha spirit for every runner, walker, and spectator.

Our winding course showcases Wisconsin's springtime splendor—rolling fields, whispering woods, and wildflower-lined paths—perfect for a leisurely stroll with ‘ohana (family and friends) or a fierce PR chase. For those true warriors proving they're the ultimate ONE MOTHER of a RUNner, the 11-mile beast delivers grit-testing climbs and soul-soothing views (plus post-race fantasies of shave ice and mai tais).

The Lodi community turns out in full force: flower crowns, aloha shirts, ukuleles, and cheers that echo like ocean waves. It's more than a race—it's a luau on legs!

🌺 We can’t wait to share the aloha with you on May 9, 2026! 🌺
