This family-friendly day brings people together to support more than 1,100 youth and families across Wisconsin through Lad Lake’s trauma-informed, evidence-based programs focused on mental health, healing, and education.
Whether you’re cycling through the scenic Kettle Moraine, tackling the 5K Trail Challenge, walking at your own pace, or taking on the NEW Duathlon, there’s an option for everyone. Enjoy music, kids’ activities, a delicious barbecue lunch, and great company—all while making a meaningful difference.
Move with purpose. Make an impact.

The top 3 male and female finishers will receive a custom medal immediately after finishing.
Looking for an extra challenge—or a fun way to team up? The Kettle Classic Duathlon combines the 5K run with a 15-mile bike ride.
Choose your option:
Solo Duathlon: Complete both the 5K run and 15-mile bike
Relay Duathlon: One participant runs the 5K, the other completes the bike ride
🕘 Duathletes start with the 5K at 9:30 AM, then transition to the bike course.
🏅 Awards will be given to top Solo and Relay finishers.
Start Time: 10:00 AM
Not interested in a 5K? Join us for a relaxed 2-mile walk and enjoy the scenic views of our campus. A great option for families and anyone looking to support a great cause at their own pace.
