About
The Grunski Runski, also known as the Otto Grunski Runski, is an annual 5K (3.1 miles) through downtown Menasha, Wisconsin, its trail network and Doty Island. It starts at 8:30 a.m. on September 25, 2027, with the start and finish at Curtis Reed Square.
Participants can enjoy a costume contest, a post-race party with music and refreshments, and vintage-inspired T-shirts. Finishers receive a bendable mini Flo, the race's signature token. The race is chip-timed, and proceeds go to the Menasha Parks and Recreation Family Assistance Fund, which helps local youth and families.
