About This
Event
Join us for the best
party race of the

Grand Geneva Resort & Spa,
is the perfect weekend getaway for you and your running pals! The
competition is stiff, the awards numerous, and the party rocks!
Course
5 mile out and back on country roads and around the resort.
Race History
It all started on a
balmy winter day in
1980 at the Playboy Club in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Over
1,000 runners showed up for our first-time event. The late John Jantz
fired the starter’s pistol, and Playboy bunnies, in uniform,
gave
out the trophies! Since then the run has added many additional run and
party features. Join us on Saturday January 7th, 2012 for the
32nd running of the best darn race & party
in the Midwest!

ends at the Grand
Geneva Resort & Spa, just east of the intersection of hwys. 50

additional parking beyond the main entrance. Registration and
