Wolf Pack Trail Run and Relay is the perfect way to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the fall season. NOTE: We have moved this event to October so it will (hopefully) be more fall and less winter! Richard Bong State Recreation Area is the host for this fall ultra-event. Once designated to be a jet fighter base, the park is fittingly named after Major Richard I. Bong, a Poplar, WI native who was America’s leading air ace during World War II. The recreation area encompasses 4,515 acres of rolling grassland, savanna, wetlands, and scattered woodland. Nature is on display all around and is constantly changing with the seasons.

The Evil Smiley Veteran's Day Run is the perfect way to celebrate and remember those who have served our country. It is our privilege to be able top take the torch from Jared Bane who started this event in 2013, in order to recognize and honor all of our Military Veterans, Active Duty, Reserves, Spouses and Friends of the Military. Our mission will be the same, to honor those who served and support charities that support our military families. This event will evolve in some ways in order to grow the event and recognize the Heroes in our community and beyond. We have changed the start/finish of the event to the University of Wisconsin – Parkside outdoor track. There will be a 21-Gun-Salute to start our event, in order to recognize our Fallen Soldiers and Veterans that have past away in 2019, names will be provided by you and other sources. When signing up, you will have the opportunity to secure a flag that will line the start/finish area to honor or in memory of a military hero in your life. We will have a staggered start time. We will have post event party and ceremony.
